Petals of Humanity
We often use flowers to symbolize humanity,
For us, every flower is beautiful.
We don't care whether it's dry or healthy;
If it's healthy, we use it as a gift or to show our love towards our loved ones.

And if it's dry, we use it as a bookmark or to recall our cherished memories.
Whether it's light or dark, we simply don't care.
All we do is appreciate its beauty,
Here, we don't discriminate.
We don't care whether that flower is bisexual or asexual.

We pluck it, we touch it, we gift it.
Including homophobic individuals, they also don't care.
But if a human is dark-skinned, we humiliate them,
Make them feel insecure.

If a human is a member of the pride community,
We bully them so that they can hate themselves.
Why are we like that?
We do say, "we all are imperfect,
We all have flaws, let's embrace it."

But are we really implementing it?
Are we genuinely ready to become a loving and supportive community?
