A Star Be Born
in Love and Luck
there's only Fate
there is Will and Way
to shape each day
there is who we are but not
is the question in play
not defined by Power or Roles
But Deed
Or facial Expression
or solemn Confession
but Intent thru Content
not by lips but by Words
Truth of our Essential Self
Soul is spent
not by how long our hair
not because you are faster
or brighter
or Intellectual or have
a History
or story that says so
but by the intricate Balance
of Equality
without gender or obsolete
Definition
to be just who
we are as and who we are
for many ways to be balanced
equal to the stars that bore us
