Beauty is Unity in Diversity

Diversity does not mean,

Everyone’s the same, in how we seem,

Diversity does not imply,

That we get together to celebrate or to cry,

Diversity does not promote,

Everyone painted with same coat,

No, Diversity-Unity, that is true,

But Unity does not mean, same goals, we will pursue,

Unity in Diversity, is life’s truest mantra,

Whether we believe in Jesus, Rama, Allah or even Santa!

Respecting each other’s differences, that is true joy,

Not making vicious comments or simply being coy,

The world is filled, with all kinds of races,

People from all cultures, religions, castes and graces,

Humans are not a box of perfectly matched 2B pencils,

Or a set of matched shiny utensils,

We are a bunch of mismatched sharpies,

But when one is threatened, we come together as an army,

We are all unique, but humanity is in our togetherness,

When God was doling out, he was very generous,

If He had intended, we would all be the one,

But we all stand under the same Sun,

Together, we can save the world,

Finally achieve the immortal-peace we have earned,

Learning from past mistakes,

The future is ours to take!

Nature does not discriminate,

State, colour and creed, it does not rate,

We are together and as forever such we shall remain,

Fighting together against pain, stain and bane!

Remember, Unity begins with You,

If not You, then Who?
