Light in 100 Words- 166. "No Difference"

166. “No Difference”?

Small as a peanut,

Big as a giant,

We're all the same size

When we turn off the light.

Rich as a sultan,

Poor as a mite,

We're all worth the same

When we turn off the light.

Red, black or orange,

Yellow or white,

We all look the same

When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way,

To make everything right

Is for God to just reach out

And turn off the light!”

― Shel Silverstein

The beauty of Shel Silverstein’s poetry is in its simplicity. Short, sweet, simple and yet, brilliant and always entertaining.
