DEI

DEI


DEI


Whose building this is, I think I know.
This company belongs to my CEO.
He will not see me sitting here,
As he delivers the annual report.

My family and friends must think it queer
For me to still be working here
With people who think themselves elite
And care so little about their peers.

They look at me with such distaste
And act as if there's some mistake.
I try to introduce myself
But my hand they will not even shake.

Their souls are cold, dark, and deep,
They aim to prevent inclusivity,
But I could never accept defeat,
Knowing the purpose of diversity.


Note:

I've used my creative license with Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," which you can read at the following link: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Revising History to Fit Agendas


Description

How do you convince the world that Satan does not exist? Hire a revisionist. 

There are two ways to use revisionist history: one refines history and the other produces fiction.

Revisionist Historians are often individuals or groups that engage in the positive uses of revisionist history, as they aim to correct inaccuracies, highlight marginalized perspectives, and provide a more nuanced understanding of historical events. Their work can lead to a deeper appreciation of the complexities of history and promote social justice by acknowledging the experiences of those who have been overlooked or misrepresented.

On the other hand, Revisionists are often individuals or groups that engage in nefarious uses of revisionist history. This includes distorting historical facts to serve a particular ideological agenda, which can perpetuate harmful stereotypes or justify discriminatory practices. Such revisionism is often criticized for being dishonest or manipulative, as it seeks to reshape history in a way that supports specific narratives rather than seeking truth.

Broken

 


Description

My version of a Triptych. A Triptych in poetry is the artful composition of a poem in three distinct yet interconnected sections, each telling a part of a larger story or theme. In my version, the first poem is on the left, the second poem is on the right, and the two poems read together, ignoring the division between the two poems, represents the third poem.
