This was a poem that I wrote for a competition in my company on the given topic:
"Diversity- Inclusion inspires innovation" held during Diversity Week that was celebrated last week.
What is diversity? It is like...
The sun and the Earth, the moon and the stars,
The galaxies which include our Jupiter and Mars;
These celestial bodies that have no heavenly war,
Beautify the night sky, obeying their One vicar
What is diversity? It is like...
The thunder and the lightening,
Raindrops when the sun is shining,
And the rainbow in the sky following,
Those seven vibrant colors, to the eyes pleasing.
What is diversity? It is like...
A pleasant song produced in the studio,
Whose creation is inspired by a maestro,
Who sometimes flips the words with his piccolo,
And at other times changes the tempo.
What is diversity? It is like...
The vegetable curry cooked on the stove,
Where an assortment of vegetables fight and shove,
For the essence of pepper and salt and clove,
An exclusive dish for lunch, brought to the dining alcove.
What is diversity? It is like...
The sperm that has no power on its own,
But together with the ovum sown,
Births a little baby unknown,
One-of-a-kind, innovation by the Master renown.
Language, caste, religion and one's own identity,
Chip in to establish this multi-faceted humanity;
Thence, you and I are no small commodity,
Congeniality and sociability is our responsibility.
If diversity is the seed of innovation,
Then hail SAP for taking a step in the right direction,
For its freshers' and scholars' recruitment initiation,
And the women's drive that is its very own institution.
We are like the five fingers of our SAP workplace,
Making the world run better, thanks to our populace;
Because diversity is a thought we embrace,
Innovation is our destination that needs no preface.
P.S: First attempt ever at poetry. Suggestions welcome.
