Diversity and Inclusion

diversity and inclusion

has come too far

once so necessary

now so abused

as to be pointless

its single brilliant gleam of light

once bright and hopeful on dim horizon

by ignorance has itself been dimmed

its promise as forlorn as unfulfilled

beauty’s gutted standard flies

ugly over unknowing field

diversity and inclusion

has come too far

has tripped itself up

on its own intolerant pride

has become no more than

division and invective
