In a world that spins, and twirls, and flows,

Where color's depth, in each soul it grows,

Yet veiled in ignorance, conflict sows,

Differences wielded as weapon, as foes.

Beneath the skin, hearts beat the same,

In every chest, life's sacred flame.

Yet marked by shade, bear unjust blame,

In name of race, we fuel the flame.

Rise now, O voices, strong and loud,

Shatter this bias, this toxic shroud.

Speak against hate, stand tall and proud,

To nurture peace, from chaos, crowds.

In half the sky, the stars do gleam,

On shoulders of women, rest hopes, dreams.

Yet, bound by chains, stifled are screams,

In gender's name, silenced are themes.

Yet, know this truth, it's clear, it's bright,

Equal we are, in our Creator's sight.

No gender, no race, can dim this light,

For love and respect, we must ignite.

Rise, voices of justice, now take flight,

Shatter the darkness, with equality's might.

For only in unity, will dawn the light,

In a world that's fair, equal, and right.
