Compost food scraps and unhealthy organizational dynamics.
Didn’t finish your
Slimy succotash?
Please don’t put those
Food scraps in the trash!
Decomposed food
Makes soil rich
And restaurants:
You too make the switch
Compost it!
Farm excrement
Processor waste
Digest thoroughly
With climate justice haste
Anaerobic tanks
Biodigestion
Good for the people
And planet no question
Compost it!
Still say diversity
And colorblindness?
Churn those up, find justice,
Equity, real kindness
Well-meaning tropes
Misguided charity endeavors
It’s time to find
Transformational measures
Compost it!
White led service groups
In BIPOC communities?
Turn over the contracts
Dough and opportunities
Unaccountable agencies
Time to end your ego trip
White CEOs make room
For new Black femme leadership
Compost it!
