Poem: "Be Brave"
Be Brave
Diversity and inclusion,
More like an illusion stemming from your exclusion.
Bualadh bos, you's did it! Inclusivity, no biggity.
"I'm so woke, I don't believe in tokens"
but when you chant a racist slogan,
sure you're only joking!
I've spoken about it so many times that it seems like I'm open
To being broken to that one notion,
BLACk.
I get it, you see us but you don't really see us.
Too afraid to say it, but cover it up so you don't face it.
Abeg, I'm not bitter, I just believe in better
and I'll keep getting better and better.
