How might we write and share inspirational poetry to co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future?

How might we use poems to co-create generative dialogues about how to cultivate equity governance and launch Equity Moonshot?

Equity is the humanitarian virtue of fairness

The purpose of equity poems is to evoke curiosity about deep learning about what perpetrates and perpetuates our interconnected webs of self-inflicted wicked problems in the 21st century.

How might we, as equity leaders, mentors, muses, and learning design architects, empower people to co-create beloved transformational learning communities to scale up our capabilities and capacities to:

• Disseminate the virtuous meme: to Love, equity, and the pursuit of truth-seeking?

• Implement the Rhodium rule: Be fair and kind to all people, the planet, the environment, nature, biodiversity, animals, the soil, and plants?

• Co-elevate equity meta-governance to launch Equity Moonshot: co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future?

With indoctrinations reprogrammed
