Admirable Pride

In a world of change, perspectives unfold,

Yet those who cling to old views untold,

Are ill-equipped to judge their fellow kin,

Bound by binaries, boxed within.


For them, it's either black or white,

No room for hues that challenge their sight,

Deviation from this ancient norm,

Brands one an enemy, a social storm.


The rainbow, a symbol of diversity's grace,

But confined within he or she - a limited space, 

Its beauty fades in the eyes that gaze,

Condemning it, a sentiment that stays.


But the world evolves, attitudes new,

A hopeful future for generations, true,

May they welcome the rainbow's embrace,

Free from bias, in every space.


Let intolerances fade, let hearts be free,

Where rainbows thrive in harmony,

A world where colors dance and blend,

A future where all discriminations end.


Together we strive, hand in hand,

To build a world that will withstand,

The tests of time, the bonds we share,

Where rainbows shine, and all hearts care.
