Running with Equality

Sheila M on Apr 20, 2009

I wouldn’t think that being fair is too much to ask……but it is.

There’s no sense pondering.
Like asking why the light is so bright
when you already know the answer.

While a battle may be fought and won,
who are the ones to win the war?
You know.

I know it won’t be me.
While small differences can change
someone’s world,

how can I change mine?
I think I have a choice
yet in the end there’s only one.

Run with the wolves.
Oh yea, they can be run from,
but you get your food alone.

Emotion only makes it more formidable.
An instinct
to right what’s so long been wrong.

Put me in a cage.
Let none take the advantage.
On even ground.

Then the answer changes.
Choices become clear.
No longer am I on the losing end.

I don’t have a problem
running with them,
just as long as its side by side.

Another absolute gem! You don’t have to look far for your answers because they are in your own words. Now follow your own advice my sweet Sheila! You are inspiring others, now inspire yourself.
