double acrostic poem – Poetry for Change

DIVERSITY

Dine on tabboule, curry,   gYros, pasta, burgers, sushi,
Include a sprinkling of      Teas and Turkish coffee
Vainly believing that travelIng will make you
Even more open to cultureS and races that sur-
Round you. Relieve       youR boredom with savory
Sensory outbursts that     Endavor to sparkle the palate
Intensifying your joy        Valiantly trying to be compassionate
To ‘otherness’ even through Incredible oppression they’ve
Yet to discern as being their Damnably real identity.
