Just Like You!

A poem that encompasses the spirit of I&D and calls for a better future!

You and I are not the same; I’m a nobody, you have a name.
This thought is old, let’s bring the new; Coz the truth is I’m “Just Like You!”

I may walk, talk or look different; I may dress, react or think different
But my heart beats just like you; I dream to rise just like you

If only you step in my shoes someday; It won’t matter if I’m transgender or gay
Living my life, should be my choice; I have some ideas, just listen to my voice.

I may not hear, speak or see; But I can do wonders, just let me be.
If only I get chance to prove; Together we’ll strive, the world will move.

I’m neither a man, nor a woman; Don’t put me in buckets, I’m only Human.
We’re all the same, of the same caste; Let’s come together, change the past.

Sometimes I’m young, sometimes I’m old; Asian or African, but always bold.
The stage is set, I know we’ll win; Sky is the limit, if we’re All IN.

Let’s echo the message, all around; So people open up, Inclusion is found
Let’s work to make, the world a little better; You and I, Creating the Future Together!

For What?

Sometimes we just forget to live and start 'existing'. We are spiraled into the everyday activities and forget to think about why we're doing what we're doing. Here is a small poem, that asks to reflect and question...


You still have time... but for what?
You're still breathing... but for what?

You open your eyes but do you really see?
You go to sleep but are you at peace?
Days go by... but for what?

You play for fun but are you enjoying?
You compete everyday but do you have the time?
You put on a smile... but for what?

You study, graduate, but are you aware?
You earn, work-hard, but do you really care?
Filling pockets everyday... but for what?

You still have time... let's make it worthwhile
You're still breathing... let's see for what!
