Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

We Believe in Diverse

  We believe in diverse in our universe
    Our government’s a meritocracy in reverse

  Red folks, brown folks, yellow and green
    Indigenous Indians, Asians, Orientals, ‘Mar-sheens’

  So despite constant breakdowns in communication
    Multicolor anger and fury benefits all nations…

  We also support workplace equity
     All employee reviews must be ‘A’ or ‘B’ 

  And of course there’s inclusion, finally
     For violent ex-felons we bend the knee 

  All told, with our universe we’ve given birth
     ~ to a bigger mess than Planet Earth

Panagiota Romios May 29, 2024 at 12:28 PM Funneee! I can tell you as a “honky”, i wasdenied jobs bcause I did not fit the Color wheel Quota system. I am glad I am older and dont have to be told, i dont fit! Age qualifications came later. I honestly dont know how I am still alive. Some of the stories are unbelievably humorous. I could not get a job as a maid…. even at the Hyatt Refency in SF when Carter was in office! .unlike Hilda, I am glad to be heaving the planet.

Hilda Greenhough May 29, 2024 at 10:16 AM Satirical and riveting, your poem has a view of our time. But nothing lasts forever. Life on earth hopefully will get better.
