Discrimination (Attempted Sonnet)



Two ears, two eyes & one nose
We all do possess
Then why this discrimination do we pose
When in unity lies our success

Gender- male or female
Color- black or white
Discrimination on all grounds'd fail
Against Thy equality & might

We all, brothers & sisters
Are children of Thee
But still are struck by the curse
Of discrimination between u & me

But we shall overcome; we'll not just let it be
& help make a society as was planned by Thee
