[Verse 1] Maria clicks but nothing happens, screen stays dark and cold Her vision fades but code should welcome stories yet untold The button has no label, just a mystery in blue While keyboard navigation skips like stones across the view [Chorus] A-L-T text for every image, speak the visual tale Color contrast, bold and readable, never let it pale Screen readers dance through headings when they're structured one through six Universal design means everyone gets in the mix [Verse 2] Ahmed types in Arabic but text flows left to right His calendar shows January when it's winter in his sight The dropdown cuts his language off at borders way too tight While error messages in English dim his morning light [Chorus] A-L-T text for every image, speak the visual tale Color contrast, bold and readable, never let it pale Screen readers dance through headings when they're structured one through six Universal design means everyone gets in the mix [Bridge] Keyboard focus rings like halos guide the path ahead Skip links teleport through content, jump where angels fear to tread Test with real devices, real people, real hands that shake What seems simple to the builder might be walls for others' sake [Verse 3] Rosa taps with trembling fingers, motor skills that hesitate Tiny targets mock her efforts, buttons sealed behind a gate While Liu squints at faded text that blends with background gray Good design lifts every user, shows a more inclusive way [Chorus] A-L-T text for every image, speak the visual tale Color contrast, bold and readable, never let it pale Screen readers dance through headings when they're structured one through six Universal design means everyone gets in the mix [Outro] Build with empathy as compass, test with diverse human eyes Every barrier that you lower helps another spirit rise
