Equality for All

Difference in fellow humans shouldn't matter.
It seems we go out of our way to cause friendships to shatter.
It's wrong to see others as small.
Recipients of hatred shouldn't feel this at all.
It shouldn't matter that we make a low or high wage.
It shouldn't matter that sexual orientation causes rage.
It shouldn't matter that one is male or female.
It shouldn't matter if we're a high school dropout or a Ph.D. graduate of Yale.
It shouldn't matter what worldview we hold.
It shouldn't matter that we're young or old.
It shouldn't matter that we are brown, black, or white.
It shouldn't matter what is the status of our height.
It shouldn't matter that we are heavy or thin.
It shouldn't matter if we lose games or win.
It shouldn't matter if we have an extra chromosome.
It shouldn't matter if we have a mansion or no home.
It shouldn't matter if we are an Olympian or physically impaired.
When it comes to scrutiny, no one is spared.
Imagine what it's like to be put into an earthly hell.
We're all human beings and should treat another well.
