UNREQUITED WORDS PRESENTS

Does it really Matter

My few verses on equality

Does it really matter if the sun that pervades the sky or the moon?
Does it really matter if the light reflected off a person’s skin is white or coloured?
Does it really matter I am a male or female or any other?
Does it really matter if it is a man I love or a woman or neither?

We were all created equal.
We were all born equal.
We were all meant to be equal.

If they preach that all are God’s men,
Then why do some consider themselves superior to others.

Does a fairer colour make us a fairer people.
Does a polished accent make us polished people.

‘Tis not our origins but our destinations that define us.

How many more injustices and deaths will it take us to realise that
All beautiful things are skin-deep.

Thanks for dropping by.
