Equality and Justice

Justice for all, equal rights for everyone,
A world where no one is marginalized or shunned,
Where all are treated with respect and love,
A world where our differences are celebrated above.

No longer shall we discriminate,
Or allow prejudice to seal someone's fate,
We must stand together and fight for what is right,
To bring an end to hatred and unite.

Color, race, creed or gender,
Should never be a cause for dismember,
Our humanity and respect for each other,
Should always remain the constant hallmark of our culture.

We were all created equal and free,
And our basic human rights must be guaranteed,
The right to life, liberty, and equality,
Must be upheld, even in the face of adversity.

May our voices be heard,
As we speak out against injustice and world,
May we stand firm in our call for equality,
And build a world where love is the only reality.
