Equal

By Jessie Tornabe
 Why
Why what
Why must I be this color
Because
NO
This is me
No it isn’t
Yes it is
Fine
We want equal rights 
But men are better than women
That is not true
We are equal in power
Equal in strength
Equal people
We should get the same amount of money as you
Well
I guess
Stop treating us like servants
Like pigs
Like we don’t belong in a hardware store
Fine
We’ll work it out together
Together
But equal pay
$1 to $1
Not 81 cents to your $1
OK
Equal
You can gain 19 cents and we will too
Then we will both have equality because we both moved forward
Well we want equity
We want to have EQUAL pay
OK
Well
Fine 
$1 to $1
Are you happy
…
No
Give us freedom too
Shut up
No
We want equity and equality and to be treated fairly
Never
We will fight for our rights then
… Go for it
...Are you ready for us?
