Not Born Equal Created Equal
As God finished the knitting in setting this soul free
And so it seemed fitting that this child would now be
A little bit alike, a little bit different yet totally unique
A soul created and Heaven sent as to His Glory I speak
It's where we all came from that little child in the womb
Yours not the same for it didn't end up being your tomb
So many sacrifices were made time over and time again
And more often then not people prayed but that was then
As the newborn cries out his parents teeming with pride
For them there is no doubt for truth you can never hide
He reaches towards the sky and kicks with two tiny feet
Stirring one to ever wonder why one allows such deceit
Looking at that baby knowing you are set in your ways
Hoping that if just maybe for you the whole world prays
The Lord will stop your hand in warming your cold heart
Unable to understand there's such complicity on your part
A single cell, 46 chromosome organism found on any planet,
but Earth, would be considered life. Stupid humans.
