We are all created equal.
These words echoed throughout time.
But how true have they become
As history is so full of crime!

Yet do we grow as equals?
Or does age bring something new?
A new face, a new minds,
Some makes me different from you?

In truth, these words are only spoken;
Even after powerful preachers
Speaking about their life dreams
Have changed the world.
They are only spoken.

Words can hurt,
Words are cruel!
Most are only believed
By incompetent fools.
And I am one of those fools.

Yet throughout these years
Changes have been brought
And history has fed fears.
The hearts of these dreamers have been sought
To believe once more for you.

These times have changed,
And equality has been reversed.
Now, the focus is on equal gender and race
Rather than qualifications of individuals.

We are all created equal.
Words echoed in today's time.
Yet the translation was lost,
And it has become a crime.
We WERE all created equal.
