Equality

An undisputed truth , that all of mankind is 
similar,
Shared goals and ambitions, the dream of 
a peaceful land,
For all to stand against waves of burning 
hate , hand in hand,

Differences force a barrier between 
understanding,
Aggression arises, and innocents are 
thrown in turmoil, unwilling,
Violence tears through the living , turning 
the peaceful into machines intent on 
killing,

The time is now , for us to change the 
world,
To exorcise the ghosts of discrimination,
and to end all frustration,
A time of peace shines upon our land,
A promise of salvation,finally at hand.
