Diversity

There’s a man with a placard that says Jesus saves There’s a busker singing songs about the war A man in tatty clothing searches through the bins for food An old woman is swearing at the kids A guy smoking a cigarette on his lunch break Another wage slave trapped on minimum wage A young woman in an alley way sells her body for sex Don’t judge her because she never chose this life There is a woman sells big issue in the interchange Most people just walk by Outside the mosque a group of men prepare for evening prayerA couple of Goths pass by all dressed in black A Rasta and a rocker at the bus stop share a joke A gay couple eat lunch in McDonalds with their foster kids As union members strike on a picket line A woman in a burka helps an old man cross the road A multi racial couple and their multi racial kids Invite their Eastern European neighbours around for dinner If you look around this town I’m sure that you will see So much diversity and that’s how its supposed to be So a message to the biggots and the far right groups Who keep on marching here We have had enough of you and ask that you steer clear
