Diversity means
I have a dream
That I can think about my goals
And not the color my skin

Diversity means
That I can go to school
That I can join athletics
Regardless of my skin

Diversity means
I can leave my house
And see another race of people
As my neighbors

Diversity means
That I can have a group of friends
Friends that are all colors of the melting pot
Diversity means the United States.
