Equal
We may speak in different tongues
Sounding strange to each other’s ears
Hands and faces used to communicate
But we are equal
You call your god by a different name
Although to me he is the same
And we pray in different words, different times
But we are equal
Your shoes, your hats, your every piece
Which clothes your body is foreign to me
And though it may look strange in my eye
We are equal
Your body has been the den of cruel thieves
Who stole your legs or your eyes or your ears
Or your mind and maybe even your dignity
But we are equal
No matter whom you love or give your devotions to
Regardless of where you live, how you vote
Whether you drive, walk or take the bus
We are equal
I share my shame with others who make judgments
I open my door and set my table
I ask you to forgive if I ever treated you as anything but
Equal.
