As humans we can love, or we can hurt others. Sometimes it is done unintentionally, but occasionally by misunderstanding we hurt others. This problem can be deeply encrusted in us through generations of misinformation and abuse. It is time to change this, to do the right thing, and look at how I, we, can do things better.
What is Equality?
If my schooling is different to yours,
If my health care support is different to yours,
If my privileges are different to yours,
If my rights as a human are different yours,
Is this justice? Is this equality?
Without gender equality, humanity misses out,
Without racial inclusion, humanity misses out,
Without education equality, humanity misses out,
Without equality, we all lose out,
We need equality.
Equality is when we all have access to clean water,
Equality is when we all have food to nourish our bodies,
Equality is when we all have access to education,
Equality is when each of us include all others,
This is equality.
We all can see the beauty of things around us,
We all can smell the fragrance rose,
We all can hear the twitter of the birds,
We all can walk and move in nature,
This is equality.
For humanity to grow we all need equality,
Justice cannot be achieved until we have equality,
Freedom cannot be administered until we have equality,
Can you help to bring about equality in all spheres of life?
