We must stop constantly fighting, all of us,
for human rights and equal justice,
in a system that is clearly so blatantly unjust,
and start building a society where equal rights for all humankind,
are an integral part of the system's design....

I got lost in a swarm of people
who knew other people 
who thought politics were overrated, 
who were constantly for equal rights
for every damn thing, 
and then there was me 
who was trying to look for you,
despite the cacophony of
human sounds....

Equal Rights?

There was a boy named Jack that knew Jill.
He understood that she hated road kill.
So, he took her to dine.
At a restaurant so fine
It was divine ‘til he passed her the bill!

Life

Doubt not life
Babies are born and  grow
Existence continues, be your self!

Twisted life:

Universal love, 
I have grown  and accepted
Existence ends with me and you

and non discrimination for sexual orientation.

Girls is creature of God
She is pure soul
More stronger 
More winner

Why she is tension???
Why she is not free???
Why she has not  equal rights???
Why past says we are different???

Without a girl
You are not there
No mother love
No sister love

She is mankind
Who is stronger
Make her free
Make her equal 

Without her
Nation is no more...

I remember the sixties what a turbulent time,
war, free love, equal rights all had signs.
But the one that survived even till this day,
is the peace sign it's always showed the way.
No matter how you drew it the meaning never changed,
it helped guide a generation and kept it sane.
For peace is the only way to survive,
and work with our fellow man to stay alive.

JAN is so lucky to live on the Island of Men
I have looked for the Isle of women with no luck
I thought this world was equal why not for women?
They need an Island just for them 

I would support it all the way, equal rights I say
I wonder how many women would move with me today?
Then I could say I live on the Isle of women
I wonder if I prayed for it or even just one wish

To live on an Island with all women...

Equal Rights are guaranteed by law
Quality of life has a major flaw
Universal acceptance will start the thaw
American laws are still too raw
Leadership lost the bigoted draw

Rights are rights, they belong to all
Idiots who fear to make the call
Give equality or watch the nation fall
Help the just tear down the wall
Truth prevail while hate will stall
See us from the dark ages crawl


Discrimination is discrimination no matter
how it is disguised....

Equal rights for all?
A woman, man and child.
Of opportunity, solidarity thru domestication
Then why? Some are treated as a stepchild.

Equal rights is similar to social injustices, non-alignment,
biased land of liberty and equal opportunity?
From nearby and abroad were seized and transferred without one’s voluntary decisions. Are embracing oppositions, rebellious injustices from the land of Equal opportunity much change and growth is needed....

I could have run and tried to hide.
When God said, "Go against the tide."

"Preach unity and never fight.
All races on earth have equal rights."

In peace and love " I Have A Dream."
No prejudice, or hatred, life serene!

I could have tried to run and hide.
But either way I would have died.

So I chose to carry on.
To show in peace we can be strong.

"I Have A Dream."  It must come true.
And now God gives  THIS DREAM TO YOU.

Qadhani
Zafar Ahmad And Sabir Zafar are Ahmadi Personalities
They claimed that Mirza was also a Prophet
Allama Iqbal was also considered to be their admirer
Later on he break away from the movement in 1935
Daultana ignored ahmadiya community
Bhuto was not in the favour of violence and bigotry
Zia prohibited the ahmadiya from preaching and professing
Ahmadi headquaters are located in chenab nagar rabwa
Note.Minorities deserve equal rights as majority?...

Rediscovering listening to music
Currently have The Big Bopper on
With show don't tell, tell don't show poetry on my mind
I'm loving the simplicity of the telling in 50s music
I love the clothes, the make up, perhaps even connotations of chivalry
I'll have my equal rights and my special treatment (sorry not sorry)
And I'm sure the juxtaposition of holding a pint of Guinness sets off my (occasional) 1950s glamour look to perfection 
See ya later alligator...

Imagine being female
In a Taliban regime,
Where equal rights do not exist,
Except when women dream.

Shariah law has taken hold,
With floggings taking place
For girls or women who have dared
To show the world their face.

Schools and universities 
Say females can’t attend 
And there’s no indication that
These rules will ever end.

In life, our path’s determined
Partly by the place we’re born.
For women in Afghanistan,
Their chances we must mourn....

Today is Martin Luthor King Junior's birthday; a day that we celebrate.
Without his influence, Barack Obama probably wouldn't be the President of the United States.
He wanted black people to have equal rights.
He didn't cower in the face of this fight.
He knew that some people are consumed by hate.
Sadly one of those people took his life in 1968.
Martin Luther King Junior died for what he believed in.
People shouldn't be prejudice because of the color of skin....

Racism is over
They say
Women have equal rights
They say
The gays can get married now, Isn’t that enough?
They say
What they think isn’t always is truth
We still have a long way to go

Free Verse, No line requirement, just write what you’re thinking and give it a rhythm pleasing to the ear.
I like this form simply because I can write my thoughts and not have to worry about forced rhymes or counting syllables.

Listen to poem:

(This is another poem from childhood.)

Beyond majestic mountains high
golden fields of grain do lie.
Upon the face of stretching plains
rise mighty cities where refrains
ever musical do swell
as, in melody, they tell
endless tales of valor bold.
In the towns and cities old
lying in that sea of grain
dwells the heart and freedom's strain.
Ringing loud from mount to sea
it offers all humanity
equal rights and liberty.
Ever more shall live its fame --
My America is its name....
