Best Equality Poems


Equality At the Hands of Men
Man so mighty and wise
still has to define this
that another living being's life
has the same value as his 

Boasted, brazened
written in stone
raised above 
these highest places 
where power reigns
crushing down  
in white 
clenched fists
gripping so tightly
to "history" 
squeezing 
draining the meaning 
out of good...

Equality
I'm not you and you're not me
But life doesn't care
We die equally...

Seeking Equality - My Spirit
Lonely days and nights of childhood 
spent in tears, no comfort
wishing for a gentle caress, a peck
aching for the tender words
weary of the ignorance

my heart cries for the child in me

Unjust is the love that singles out a child, 
the rest yearn, birthed by the...

The Fight For Equality
We can be equal without being the same. 
Let's say it out loud, we shall be heard: 
Look past my gender, and know my name. 

This is not about gaining wealth or fame
Together let's stand, let's spread the word: 
We can be equal without being...

Fatality To Equality
Fatality To Equality

We were supposed to believe in equality,
And we do want to find another fatality;
Study am trying,
But none buying;
Which class should we take in psychology.

Premium Member Equality of War
As bombs blow at night,
smoke fills hazy skies.
Children cry from fear -
broken toys add angst.
Fathers helpless to
protect their blood,
embrace them tight.
Mothers give birth
but their new-borns
struggle to breathe.
Their screams fall silent,
against a backdrop
of rocket attacks.
The wise ones say
time can break your heart,
time can heal your pain,
but...

Gender Equality
An old man stepped into the light to educate us and said,
A woman should be tamed,
A woman should be locked in a cupboard for safe keeping,
A woman should fold her dreams into the hands
of a man that preach love,
She should live in the pit of...

Gay Equality
Homophobia will
be over, when "coming out"
is not reported.

[Why do Entertainment mags always have stories when a person, especially an actor or athlete, comes out? Because we are still a long way from it not being gist for the news cycle, I suppose.]...

Equality of Man, We All
We all are lying hypocrites. Our lives are staged to flaunt and bow.
We all are actors; hypnotizing masses, as we play our parts.
We all are lifeless, spiritually. Our gods? All dead! Meat! Golden cow.
We all are, through and through, corrupt. Depraved affections rein our hearts.
We...

Freedom Not Equality
Oh, it never ends,
This eternal fight for our freedoms
And yet we don’t consider
The freedoms of others
To be worth a fight
So why do we fight together
To allow for our ideals?
Does anyone truly want a world
Where everyone is free
Where everyone is equal
Where everyone can be
Or do we...

Reflections of pink, and gold on heaven’s floor, 
A hint of memories that came millenniums before, 
And the radiance of God’s glory, from the heart's core, 
Is a new dawn, for our taking.

In these shades of light, a narrative is spun, 
Of women's strength and...

Justice
Colorblind love
Equality for all
Embrace mankind by character.
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Stand up for the rights of all men.
Speak up against bias.
Rise together!

Premium Member Sanders the Clown In a Circus of Democrats
Clowns at the Abyss

I’m not a communist,
I’m a Democratic Socialist
Cries the independent Elitist

It’s a right to have healthcare
It’s a right to have welfare
Yet, funding for these generous proposals is no-where.

The clown behind the podium is a saint with your resources.
He proposes everyone pay their fair...

What's the scariest book you ever read?.. Some Stephen King book like "Salem's Lot" or "The Shinning"?

For me its Kate Millett's "Sexual Politics".. Oh, man.. Now THAT will scare you to death if you're female.

I discovered a man, (overheard) at my church, who actually believes...

At five foot four and seven stone,
Steve was all skin and bone,
At six foot two and twenty stone,
Brenda was all muscle and tone.

A love story of strange proportions,
Their bonding needed no potions,
It was a pure attraction of the heart,
In which their bodies played no part.

His...
