Inclusion Poems

I’m deaf not broken

I’m deaf not broken 
just differently wired.
My ears went on strike and were never rehired.

They packed up and left not leaving a note, 
Just departed my head without taking a coat.

I walk in a room, 
people chatter and play,
I nod like a expert, 
not a clue what they say.
Was it “You look great” or “You’ve

Inclusion

Inclusion is the particle. 
The molecule who gives me a little look. 
While I lie down, but not relaxing. 
On this hammock, hurting.

Inclusion is a pair of shorts that I used to like. 
Aren’t worn out, just don’t wear them. 
They aren’t too tight. 
I just can’t and no one knows why. 

Inclusion.

OKAPI'S DILEMMA

Okapi thought he was a horse
Attempted to blend in, of course
Zebras kicked him out
Horses ran about
But okapi had no remorse

I AM A SIERRA LEONEAN TOO

I may be hooked on kush
my body bruised and worn
wandering the streets of Freetown 
but I’m a Sierra Leonean too.

I may not pay my taxes
can’t even clean a gutter
but this land is still my home
I’m a Sierra Leonean too.

I may not make decisions to sell state companies 
or pass laws for pregnant girls in school
but

Whoever they are
Wherever they are
Whatever they do
One solution is no solution

DIVERSITY, EQUITY INCLUSION

Today I’m blessed with the task of clearing up some confusion…
when it comes to DEI- diversity, equity and inclusion…

Personally I’m am mortified…shocked…dismayed…appalled…
why when it comes to DEI…people are confused at all

Diversity, equity and inclusion will always make our country…our world strong…
anyone who agrees will always be right…
and the rest will always be wrong.

INSIDE THE BOOKSTORE

Please excuse me if occasionally I repeat myself…If these words you’ve heard before…
but if you want a true depiction of what the world is like…go inside any bookstore.

Outside a bookstore there are people under the shadow of religion and politics
pretending they want everyone to be free…
but telling us what books we should read, who we

Administration '25

They're knocking at me door
In the middle of the night
They're knocking at me door
Giving me an awful fright.

They taking me
To a camp where
Ashes fall like black snow.

I'll not be overjoyed
By goose-stepping boys 
With boots to their knees, oh hey,
And brown shirts and billy clubs
Cheese grater belly rubs
Coming to take me away.

Hymn: Diversity

Behold the varied colours in the sky
within the forms of clouds see golds and greys.
Each day they change before the gazing eye;
from dawn to dusk they constantly amaze.
	Evolving through the spangled universe
	our God of love creates them so diverse.

Above the atmosphere the heavens display
a host of stars and planets, comets too;
a spread of constellations in

Peace

When dragons ruled the atmosphere
gliding here, and then flying there.
No battle waged on kingdoms where
the magical beasts made their lair.

The wind blew strong beneath their wings,
whispering wise, wizardly things.
As though angelic chorus sings,
their smoky song of solace brings.

Calling for calm against the wrongs
that other beings flung in throngs.
Let us live and sing soothing songs!
This land

They plan to holt all carbon emission goals and

Inclusion

But here I am, foisted into a corner.

My back straight, still as a scarecrow.

Mean as a scarecrow.

And they are like birds, 

But instead of fleeing, they are simply chirping.

Not even at me, but around and around.

They are chatting, and my own teeth are chattering, but it’s not loud enough for them to hear.

Welcome, welcome! Welcome

Rewarding Inclusion

I doubt it was a philosopher,
more likely an emperor,
but possibly both,
who first explored this sad relationship
between exclusion
and punishment,
colonialism
feeding repression.

I'll bet it was a Taoist mother
afraid bad weather would smother
all hope of restoring future peace
who first engaged our glad elationship
between inclusion
and cooperative reward,
creolization
feeding on multicultural
graceful impressions

This, our win/lose
zero-sum
retributive justice 
fading exclusion 
exclusive point
