Us
by Jason Tomlinson

It takes her him them and you
me and all y’all to see this through
subtract one and it won’t be the same
as the product produced with every name
it’s the team He made to get it done
the employment and inclusion of everyone
a thing of beauty? yes! and beauty indeed
it’s fruit for now and a future’s seed
none of it wasted it comes back again
all the boys and girls all the women and men
work as one a great big family
so grateful for all – they mean everything to me
