Theresa Ann Moore (1940 / Michigan, U.S.A.)
Equality
The truth is that we are all very similar
We have the same wants and hopes...
To live in peace with friends and family
Don't want to be tied by hatred's ropes
Intolerance of differences is a feeble excuse
For scorn and hostility towards the innocent
Displaying an aggression that creates violence
Trying to strip people of their unique content
If freedom loving people were allow to exist
Tolerance would be the unanimous choice
Discrimination is a destructive caustic crime
Recognize the benefits of equality…rejoice
