Equality
Broken by the yearnings
The feelings and the burnings
Through inequity, the imbalance
Two hearts, two souls, two hopes
Never given the impartiality,
The fairness, the equality – balanced
Joys, promises, peace…
Broken by the partialities
The biases and prejudices, the favoritisms,
The one-sidedness of inequity,
Two dreams, two realities, two who believe
There can be a true peace, a true sense of parity,
But the times never lean toward giving impartial,
Unbiased and objective ideas, inspirations
Flooded by neutrality, the settled thoughts that
Breed togetherness, composure, stability
A feeling of mutuality, an unruffled faith
The assurance that we can see – equality
Broken by the lack of equality,
Dreading the darkness of imbalance,
Feelings flowing with dissimilarity, disparity
The unfairness felt by the heart who cares,
The heart who hears that old alarm, foretelling
Disproportionate insights and beliefs,
All the reasons for remembering that it is our
Sameness, our likeness, our uniformity
The reminds us… even though we share differences,
It is in our similarities that we begin to erase
The confusion, the despair, the discord
Knowing that, with time, together we will find
The answers to our differences, the truth
That comes to life inside the heart who sees
Together, if we only believe, a beautiful balance
Reveals that we truly are equals in everything that
Matters – the heart and soul, the feelings
Are what make us who we are and we are equals
Because God created us to love without conditions
God created us to know similarity in all that is good –
Our lives share a sameness, a balance, a likeness
That assures us, He is fair – He is wise – He is just
And, together, we have this moment to known unbiased
Hope, faith and love… all the joy of equality in our souls
