Cheers to Shel Silverstein!

Mommy came across a really cool poem by Shel Silverstein...

NO DIFFERENCE
By Shel Silverstein

Small as a peanut,
Big as a giant,
We’re all the same size
When we turn off the light.

Rich as a sultan,
Poor as a mite,
We’re worth the same
When we turn off the light.

Red, black, or orange,
Yellow or White,
We all look the same
When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way
To make everything right
Is for God to just reach out
And turn off the light!

It no doubt beats the regular:

God creates us as equals, so, stop judging people based on the color of their skin, the amount of money in their pocket, the size of their brain, yada yada yada ^_^.
