The person

People, oh people, so diverse and unique,

A tapestry of cultures, a mosaic to seek,

With stories to tell, and wisdom to share,

A reflection of life, beyond compare.

From different lands, we all come,

With different tongues, we all hum,

Yet, in our hearts, we are the same,

Yearning for love, and longing for fame.

We laugh, we cry, we dream, we hope,

We struggle, we triumph, we find ways to cope,

With every step, we leave a mark,

On the world, we create, in light and in dark.

We love, we hate, we forgive, we forget,

We cling to memories, we cherish regrets,

We journey on, with each other in tow,

Through joy and through pain, we learn and we grow.

We are artists, we are dreamers, we are makers,

We are healers, we are thinkers, we are shakers,

We are the future, we are the past,

We are the present, we make it last.

People, oh people, what a wonder to behold,

In our diversity, lies a story untold,

A story of love, of hope, of unity,

A story of us, of our humanity.

The people, a vast and diverse sea,

From every corner of the earth, they be.

A tapestry of colors, cultures, and beliefs,

In their joys and sorrows, a collective relief.

Some are born into privilege and power,

Others struggle through life's longest hour.

Yet all yearn for love, respect, and dignity,

A chance to fulfill their destiny.

From the busy streets of New York City,

To the quiet villages of the countryside,

People strive for a life of purpose and meaning,

Where their dreams and aspirations can take flight.

The people march for freedom and justice,

Demanding a fair and equitable world.

They voice their opinions, share their stories,

And fight for the rights of boys and girls.

The people build bridges of hope and trust,

Across boundaries of race, religion, and nation.

They work together to solve the world's problems,

And heal the wounds of generations.

The people are the heart and soul of humanity,

A testament to our resilience and strength.

Their courage, compassion, and perseverance,

Will carry us through the challenges at length.

So let us honor the people, near and far,

For all that they have done and will do.

Let us stand in solidarity and unity,

And create a better world for me and you.

Oh people, how diverse and complex you are,

With thoughts and emotions that reach so far,

Each with a story, a unique history to tell,

A lifetime of experiences that shaped them well.

Oh people, with your different ways and beliefs,

With your joys and sorrows, triumphs and griefs,

From different lands, cultures and tongues you came,

To form this tapestry of humanity we claim.

Oh people, with your strengths and your flaws,

With your kindness and your selfishness, your highs and your lows,

From the innocent child to the wise old sage,

You all have a role to play in this grand stage.

Oh people, how you yearn to love and be loved,

To be understood and accepted, respected and approved,

To belong to a community that cares and supports,

To find a purpose and a meaning that gives life its forts.

Oh people, let us cherish what unites us,

What brings us together, what inspires and excites us,

Let us celebrate our diversity with open hearts,

And build a world where each one of us plays a vital part.

Beautiful people, with stories to tell,

Each one unique, with their own special spell.

Some may be quiet, while others are loud,

But all have their place, and their value is found.

They come in all colors, shapes, and sizes,

Their differences, no one denies it.

But when we look deeper, we see the common thread,

The shared humanity, that binds us instead.

We all have our struggles, and our moments of pride,

Our joys and our sorrows, that we keep deep inside.

But when we come together, we can make something grand,

We can build a community, that is truly something grand.

So let us celebrate, the beauty of each person we meet,

And appreciate the gifts, that make them unique and complete.
