DEI

D on't get it twisted,
I t is
V ery clear why programs like this even 
E xisted!
R eaching goals and obtaining any type of
S uccess was hard when sex, skin and orientation came
I nto view.
T ribulation and strife was in heavy supply for the old and the
Y outh.

E very day we should fight for everyone to have the
Q uality of life that is truly humane and
U nderstand that although that might not look the same for everybody 
I t should feel like 
T hey're living and breathing the same good life as their fellow man.
Y ou shouldn't have to scrape 

A nd claw to do
N othing but simply exist.
D enying or closing our eyes to bias and systemic bigotry 

I s not the answer and takes us
N owhere.
C alled are we all to truly 
L ove another and to hate what is evil.
U nique opportunities arrive when we
S ever ties with
I deas 
O f hatred and disdain.
N othing but truly loving each other as God loves us can change hearts and minds.
