Poem: "Be Brave"



Wuraola "Ola" Majekodunmi

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.
