Diversity

Diversity, you colorful flame,

burning at the heart of innovation

you can't be named, you can't be tamed

you never occupy, you ever defy a specific location.

All too often misunderstood

forsaken, mistaken or morally shaken

you rise up just to take another blast

as you carry the cross of the outcast

Resurrecting like a phoenix from the ash

no matter how many times you clash

with the ones who live in a secret fear

of a god that never shed a tear.

Rich or poor, black or white

straight or gay, religious or not,

like it or not

lessons are learned in the Melting Pot

Diversity, mirror of a thousand frames

the blind lead the blind into mindless games

projecting reflecting on a million names

persecuting who is not the same

but under the surface what we see

is the ancient tale of a family

recorded up to this very day

in the secret language of DNA
