A rainbow binds every color,
Then displays itself in the clear blue sky;
We gaze at it awestruck.
2026 Diversity Visa applications now open
The sky when just blue,
Is nothing special?
Then the clouds come dancing in at sunset.
Orange and pink and purple.
Oh how beautiful the sight is!
Our society could be just as unique.
Just as wonderful.
If only people of every color and every caste were bound together.
Instead we allow this belief of religion shoot arrows to divide us.
And our narrow minded thoughts bring forth bloodshed.
Our skin, gender, race should not be the cause of war.
We’re humans. Not a CD and a PC to be ‘not compatible’
Allah will not curse you for wishing someone on Christmas
And Buddha will not frown upon his disciples for celebrating Tihar alongside the Hindus.
Let there be parties where girls wearing kurtis are dancing with guys wearing kilts.
We shall be just as magnificent as the sky during sunset
And as united as the seven colors of the rainbow.
So let us celebrate diversity.
Be it in gender, caste, culture, taste
Let us all come together in spite of all our differences.
Only then will for every identity will our society be a better place.
