Preamble

By Max Behrens

We the people would be created equal

because slavery wouldn’t exist,

Jim Crow laws would be abolished, or never exist

To a certain degree, hopefully, we would all be free only because

We let all men or women of color speak, 

Only that and our problems would be solved 

No man or woman or any person 

would be discriminated for being created

All of this would be fine

but we created a society that is blind   

Blind to sexism 

Blind to racism 

Blind to religious discrimination 

Blind to homophobia 

Deaf to the people who were victims of this 

Crying for help that didn't exist
