Collective Wins..

Not just equal, but equitable

Everybody gets a seat at the table

Equal opportunity leading to equity

Welcoming all, practicing inclusivity

Letting diverse voices chime in

That is how I thought we would win

*

That playbook has been nullified

Principles of equity stand vilified

It’s all about merit, they say

But the focus on merit had never gone away

The table is like a country club exclusive

That admission to only the privileged few gives

*

I continue to believe that a sovereign society is just

Once outrage dies down, and we see settling of the dust

The conversations around these topics shall be revived

I daresay these liberal ideas shall survive
