we are not equal.
why is it that she,
with her glossy hair
and her expensive wear,
can command attention from
demand affection from
all those around,
but he, with
no place to call home
forced to roam
forget a college
he’ll never learn the knowledge
because he has no silver
to spare
but he works and saves
searching for pennies
day after day
night after sleepless night
just hoping for a maybe
for the sun
to come
in this rainy
age
we are not equal
look at her
and tell me
if you see
the same opportunity
if you see a unity
between rich and poor
between animosity and amour
we are not equal
but we are
human
