The Win We Should Be Chasing

Everyone eats.
Everyone learns.
Clean water runs for all,
And health care is a given, not a privilege.

What if winning meant
A safe place to rest,
Compassion as a compass,
And no one left in the shadows,
Forgotten by the world they dream to belong to.

What if winning meant
Voices meeting in open discourse,
Fear dissolving into safety,
Divisions mending like old wounds,
And every person offered dignity.

Not gold.
Not greed.
Just a world restored to its humanity,
And a victory that rebuilds.
