All Humans are Created Equal

We stood up to a tyrant once.

And now it’s time to again.

We need to stand up for the rights we were supposed to get so long ago.

“All men are created equal.”

I know it means all humans, but it feels like it just means men sometimes.

I want it to say:

All humans are created equal.

And I want the president to follow through with that promise.

I want equality for everyone.

Men, women, gender-non conforming.

White people, black people, indigenous, and all others.

Everyone.

Not just the people the president says are important.

Everyone.

Because all humans are created equal.

All humans.

  • Me

    Who am I?

    I don’t even know anymore.

    I’ve shed the person I once was in favor of a new one.

    Yet, I’m still that person.

    I’m both at once and neither.

    So who am I?

  • International Law

    We broke it.

    We broke international law.

    Gone are the rules for countries to follow in accordance to each other.

    For if we didn’t, why shouldn’t they?

    Breaking it is wrong.

    Our country is a criminal now.
