CULTURAL COMPETENCY

Cultural Competency is a term that’s here to stay;

Not just to be used on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.

 

We have no problem eating different food;

Its different people, we think are crude.

 

Having an open mind to learn from others;

Is how we gain new sisters and new brothers!

 

From our own cultures, we learn to mimic;

But cultural competency is not a gimmick.

 

Just think what a boring world it would be;

Without fried chicken, bagels, salsa, or green tea.

 

All cultures have contributed values to mankind;

Embrace them and cultural competency you will find.

 

People are afraid of what they don’t know.

We are to love each other because God said so.
