Innovation
Is often born out of frustration
And convictions about inclusion
Emerge from disparate societies.
Great progress and affluence
Has often been made possible
By great exploitation,
Mind boggling prosperity
Side by side with breathtaking poverty
Unequal.
Inclusive innovation
Is an appeal to our creativity
A call to do better,
To build a larger table
For more people to sit at
To dig a deeper well
For more people to drink.
Are we truly using our gifts
To the best of our ability
If we only have the imagination
To spend them on ourselves?
