Equality is the key,
For everyone to be free,
No matter what your gender may be,
You deserve respect, you see.

But discrimination still exists,
Like a cancer it persists,
Holding back those who are complex,
In a world that often double-steps.

Determination is what we need,
To break down this toxic seed,
To see beyond the cells we're in,
And celebrate the atoms we've been.

Chemistry, the magic of the gene,
Shows us all that we are a team,
Unique and special, one and all,
Equal in our rise and fall.

So let's teach our children well,
To shatter double standards, break the spell,
To see beyond what meets the eye,
And strive for a world where all can thrive.

Reflections

1. What is equality and why is it important?
2. What are some ways discrimination still exists in the world?
3. What can we do to break down discrimination and promote equality for everyone?
