Equality
I paid for it with last weeks pay
seems real enough to say
I am indeed great..
Even if a little late, this
sameness is fate..
Sameness in same and all it
cost was a soul forgotten
a lifted identity found
on the cover of a life exposed
and desired by the masses...
Wakened
Mistaken
Forsaken
and never known.
Equality is bought and sold
as if the days of old are
still being told
again
with a different tone
a changed expression
a compromised integrity
lacking humility
and self seeking wandering
through time wasting
eagerly pacing...
There is desperation in the air
tonight,
warm, dry, lifeless
breezed air
passing rudely
through the outerwear
and chaotic process of thought
stirs
The road has broken is breaking
may be non existent, yet we remain
in same unchanged in demeanor and in lazy
affair of the toils we wear on our faced
expression.
Complaints to bear witness of our desire
to make good on the promise made to
loved ones
My love I will make a better life for our family
I will start first thing tomorrow
and greatness will be handed over
plated in silver a top an ancient story
buried alive some summer.
My love I will take that greatness
handed over
plated in silver
turn it to riches before your very eyes.
Yes I am magic
and this life will be my grandest performance.
I promise to make good.
Days turned to ages turned pages
still the rest of the human world rages,
capitalizing wages for the cause of equality.
Has equality become a standard way of life.
a standard better than before,
is this new standard really so standard
do we disguise tolerance in some sort of new status class
on the outside
still harboring resentment distrust and disregard
inside.
Are words inspiring spoken from the lips
of one who is inspired
and is it thought to bring change in
the promise to make good on our
daily lazy affairs for which we toil.
Do we have to work for our stake in claim
to rebuild the broken road on a different path
that leads not to controlled chaos
but sense perhaps enlightenment among the average passer by.
I wondered out loud
how does a learned man
a man of reason
of understanding
and genuine tolerance
come to know equality.
To my surprise,
such a lad, hidden behind
the street lights, in lesser
quality of this class standard system
we all subscribe, had heard my wondering
he merely remarked
"your alive aren't you"
we live, our life is marked by our existence
which can't be disputed, as plain as day is
the opposite of night, light is the absence
of dark, the life of a life is for one as it
is for another life. It is a true proposition
that we may differently use the time, but equally
is the time for one as it is for another, so
the question of equality isn't in the means of a
life, as life is life, nor can the question be
answered with few words. It is as old as are
the thoughts first thought, and is the standard
of life. It can't be taken, burned, raped, bought
or sold. The perception of equality has been distorted
by men of this day's means, but equality remains in same
as it did in the beginning. For life is life
