The Differences In Diversity

They say that no two snowflakes are alike.
Yet, in theory, they are the same.
They are snowflakes; identical.
Nonetheless, each one is unique.

Likewise, no person is alike.
And yet, we are the same.
We are human; identical.
Nevertheless, diversely unique.

We take pride in the diversity.
Of these white-winged, winter wonders from the sky.
And yet, we frown upon the beings, the humans.
That are different from us.

Aren't we all just like the winter white angels?
Identical in species.
Yet each of us unique.
In our own beautiful and wonderful way?

I ponder to myself.
The very question.
Of the difference in diversity.
And how we perceive and treat it.

Why do we adore the pretty patterns.
Of the winter white from the sky.
Yet we ridicule and frown upon.
The individuality in other people?

Why do we take pride.
In how different snowflakes are.
While we shamelessly mock the differences.
In our own kind?
