Equality Now


Equality Now! Equality Now!

The world is screaming at the top of its lungs. Equality Now!

I am screaming at the top of my lungs. Equality Now!

The streets are ablaze with hate and disgust

All men are created equal is what they say

So where is the equality at the end of each and every day?

I want to light up the torch of Equality

Shining it upon the world

I want us to be judged by the quality of character

The day will come when the veil disappears

The day will come when color isn’t important

The day will come when gender doesn’t matter

The day will come when sexuality comes second

Can I create that day?

YES!

Will I create that day?

YES!

I see it coming

I know it’s coming

I am ready for it to come

Equality Now! Equality Now!

I say Equality is NOW!
