Endless Inequality

We all scream out for equality

While we mock our brothers and sisters

Being different isn't a sin

But if he's with another mister

It's something far too sinister

To even imagine

To even comprehend

Dig out the knife

Just to stab it back in again

Equality a joke

With no punch-line

Inequality has no end

We pick fights

And don't choose our battles wisely

We make picket signs

And sign petitions

All the while

We know they're despising us

Our beliefs now a crime

Dig out the knife

Just to stab it back in again

Equality a joke

With no punch-line

Inequality has no end

Author's Note

This was mainly written about my homosexual cousin. People are so judgmental, even the family.

Reviews

[SonOfPlunder]

A good poem that speaks volumes about peoples narrow mindedness and inability to think outside of the box. Nicely done

"Dig out the knife Just to stab it back in again." I loved that you repeated this because it was probably the strongest line in this piece. The message in your poem was clear and I couldn't agree more. Bravo for the write.
