We used to be
A melting pot
Now some call us
A mixed salad
Where each ingredient
Stands out
But nothing was equal
White privilege
Or lettuce dominated
To be true
And honor
All cultures respectfully
We need a new term
Simply put
In a day
Several meals
Could occur
Mixing balances of ingredients
So we are not one
Jumbled dish
But a balanced diet
Where to be healthy
Eat in moderation
Value the rainbow
Of colors
If you must cook
Process as little as possible
For food is best savored
In its natural state
– Jennie Nawrocki
In other words be yourself.
