About the Poem
“Bridges of Equality” is a poetic anthem for inclusion, justice, and societal transformation. It envisions a world united across identities, where dignity and equity are woven into every policy, action, and heart.
Bridges of Equality
In the landscape of equality, we build our bridge,
Connecting hearts and minds, from every ridge,
From gender diverse to all identities embraced,
Bridges of equality, where every voice is graced.
In the fight for justice, we stand as one,
Breaking barriers, until the battle is won,
For every soul denied, their rights and dignity,
Bridges of equality, our shared humanity.
From policy to practice, and hearts enlightened,
Bridges of equality, where inclusion is heightened,
For in every connection, every hand we hold,
Bridges of equality, our unity unfolds.
So let us bridge the gaps, with compassion and might,
Bridges of equality, where all rights ignite,
In the journey for justice, let us all unite,
Bridges of equality, shining bright.
