Freedom is Equality

America believes in freedom

But really is that true?

With freedom that requires equality

Sadly though this hasn’t been accepted.

People say everyone is equal, really they are not.

Think of people in love.

 

Love is love

Love to me is a connection between two people

True love is between two souls coming together

Not between what genders you are

What body parts you have

But the connection between two lovely people.

Love is indescribable

Love is love

Love can be heart braking

Love can be amazing

So why must we judge people for who they love?

A guy and a guy in love

Or a girl and a girl in love

Verses a guy and girl

Do we have to judge how they made their soul connections?

What their hearts fell in love with?

No, we don’t have to judge them

It’s their life, their soul, their love

So we shouldn’t judge each other

Let people find their true love with whoever it may be.

 

My question is, will America ever see

That equality should just happen because it’s meant to be?

Will America ever know people who suffer

Because of what they aren’t allowed to show?

It doesn’t affect you in anyway

Let people love who they want

And live their own way.

As people seem to say, you only live once

Well why not let them live with the one they love.

The one they want to have those memories with.

Discrimination, hate crimes, threats

These are what those people get

For being with the person they love.

Some people think that just because you’re

Catholic or another religion,

you can’t love someone the same as you.

Why can’t they?

It’s who they are, not a phase, not an outburst or a cry for attention

Its love

And that’s all love will be.

Just think about it America,

What happens if you can’t be with the

Person you love and cherish the most

Because of people surrounding you

And their beliefs?

What would you do then America?

What would you do then?

Freedom is Equality, so let it happen.
