Dear Editor,

Widdout any help from Moses.
I wish dat he had dem all along
And dat he use to follow dem.
Competence in de job assigned to you,
Citizenship in de nation dat you serving, Participation in your community, Representative of your constituency, Bona fide membership in a bona fide party.
Ethnic balance so dat all are fairly sharing, Gender balance for our wives and daughters, Generational balance to lift the young, Geographical equity to include de faraway, And occupational balance to utilize we skills:
Ah glad fih see dem so clearly articulated.
Add dem to de first Ten written on de stone.
And emphasize to all of dem, from both sides Of de House: No teefing from de Nation’s purse.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Tulsi Dyal Singh
