Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!!

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, enjoy this poem.

Me and My M&Ms

I have always liked M&Ms.
The most diverse multi-cultural integrated candy in the world.
You have your red ones, your yellow ones, your orange ones, your brown ones
your green ones, and your blue ones.
All in one package.
All co-existing together.
One color doesn't think that it is superior to the other.
One color doesn't discriminate against the other.
All colors are the same size, shape, and weight.
All colors look different on the outside but have the same ingredients on the inside.
M&Ms all have the same flavor and they all taste G-o-o-o-o-o-o-d!
Not all M&Ms are perfect though.
Some have nuts!!!
In the real world we call them racists and bigots.
Wouldn't it be nice if like M&Ms our prejudices melted into
the abyss like chocolate melts in our mouths
and all people were judged by what was inside rather than the color
you see on the outside????
If candy can be prejudice free why can't we???????????
