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
