vern eaker - Unique like me

Unique, like me
How could that be?
That is not individuality.

People should be different
Variety is magnificent
To be just like anyone else
You lose your own sense of self

A road is a road, a ditch is a ditch
Odd, is a popcorn sandwich
Everyone is not the same
To pretend to be is just lame

Oddities have their significance
We should celebrate or difference
It is great to be one of a kind
The awesome only one each you’ll find

Eiffel tower, Empire state
Grand Canyon, golden gate
Pyramids of Egypt, China’s wall
No need to list them all

To be different is not a disgrace
But a wondrous thing to embrace
Do not hate a religion color of skin
Treasure the difference everyone wins.
