Observe, in the mirror, her refection,

A woman … black … moreover … awarded.

Ignoring, the barbed jibes, of rejection,

Not rising, to assumptions, afforded.

“Conservatory” arts well, rewarded

This pretender, for her top position.

Despite distress, outside her volition,

When thought, as a precious minority,

Duck, not the hard fight, she must transition,

Stay strong.  Hard work is the priority.

Chapter 32 – Summary from the Wisdom of Dambisa Moyo

The Post has been inspired by If I Could Tell You Just One Thing by Richard Reed.

Over the 62 days, in Dec and Jan, my challenge is to share the learning from each of the 62 chapters; hopefully in a poem, but who knows?  Follow my progress with the #JustOneThing Tag

Happy to explore what you make of the post in the comments below? 🙂

Also delighted to link to today’s Fandango FOWC – Precious

I love words - they communicate so much or so little depending on how you use them. Come and explore my thoughts with me in this, my learning journal. View all posts by TheHiddenEdge
