Contrast - Soup to Stew
The soup is thin and watery
It is made of segregation and discrimination
It is life in its most diminished form.
It's past is riddled with the pock marks
Scars of its pain and alienation
It cuts out all that does not suit
Letting fear and prejudice run roughshod
It minimizes spices to salt and pepper...
yet maybe only salt, without pepper.
In contrast, the stew is full bodied and varied
It is densely packed with diversity
It is soul food full of talents and skills
Spices that play on your tongue
And delight your palate.
Each element added is celebrated and embraced.
Each balances the other
Bringing out the flavour of the simmering pot.
