Equity

It begins with "e" and ends in "y"

It is what we need to stay alive. 

It is for the black man, 

for the gay man, 

for the woman. 

It is for you

and it is for me,

but it is not me,

nor you. 

It is the unreachable goal of mankind,

covered up by a promise of freedom, 

by a false promise of hope. 

It is not equality,

that is for the powerful white man. 

Covered up by their words of empty promises. 

Hidden behind the tears of empty voices.

Hidden behind the voices of empty tears. 

Uncover it with your voice of power, 

with your dreams of freedom and hope. 

Unleash it with your desire 

for a better tomorrow. 

Without fear or surrender, 

help it escape from this 

treacherous prison.
