Let's Start some poems

Please, read this poem and try to create a new one following the same patterns.Bue previously, answer this question, why do you think that number 8 makes reference?

CELEBR8

WE SHOULD CELEBR8
NOT DISCRIMIN8
LEARN TO APPRECIATE
DON’T PLAYER HATE
BECAUSE THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU
AND THERE’S SPACE FOR ME
LIVING IN THIS WORLD OF DIVERSITY
LET’S CELEBR8 DIVERSITY


Nature has dressed us up
in many shades of skin
the variety of tone we display
is the result of melanin
if you hate your neighbour
because of their skin colour
you really hate yourself
as we are all versions of each other.
