Seeing Humanity in Our Differences - The Last Word Festival - Poetry Slam Finalist

Image
This Is Not A Humanising Poem.  A Poem by  Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan who was the runner up finalist this year in London for The Last Word Festival.  D epicting  how people should not have to always draw social parallels  to other people in society.   Humanity is all alike, and the concept of the poem shows this should not have to be so deeply explained. Our differences do not mean we are less part of Humanity, it just shows there are people who have different ways of living.  The poem explains how the difference in Religion and Culture is something to embrace and be proud of, and not something people have to be embarrassed about, because it is more Humanising to be proud of those differences in society than the false or weak similarities some people choose to make.
