Some people love a TV show
Or book with all their heart
Because it’s scary/witty/charming
And fast-paced/tender/smart.
Others see that TV show
And think one long “okaaaaaaay?”
I think that’s the best diversity
Even if no one’s black or gay.

Diversity
Some folks are really heavy
And some are very thin.
Some have different genitals
And different colored skin.
There’s lots of types of accents,
Many different colored hairs
But everybody’s equal
When you push ’em down the stairs.

Politically Correct Case Study
They keep making King Kong movies
And they keep casting giant apes
To play the King in question.
That seems like sour grapes!
Why not cast a human
Or a donkey or a skunk?
Why must Kong be royalty
Instead of just a common punk?
Why must the ape be male
And violent and dark-furred?
Has diversity to the producers’
Shallow minds ever have occurred?
I think the next King Kong film
Should be about a lady bird.
If you don’t agree you’re evil
And we need to have a word.

Doing My Part To Spread Awareness
There aren’t enough poems
About the great Manta Ray,
A fact which remains true
After my poem today.
