A Pumpkin That is Purple

People who are different should not be mocked by others.

It is an enigma growing amidst the humble patch.

An enigma that will be seized, studied by those
seeking an answer to its difference.

A pumpkin that is purple.
Will be feasted upon by astonished eyes.

It will only be deemed special because of an
accident of nature.

In a world where people strive to be stamped of
the same mold.

In a world where conformity is held as an award
of lifelong endeavors.

A pumpkin that is purple.
Will be labeled abnormal only because of its color.

What is abnormal for a pumpkin?
A purple pumpkin still tastes the same inside as other
pumpkins.

There are people who have skewed slightly from the
“normal”
These people may look and act different from others.

Should these “different” people be considered
abnormal?

The entire world has a variety of individuals.
If some people fear this variety.
They should never step outside their home and
meet others.
