Equal In Every Way Poem by Francis Duggan

Since red is the blood we do shed when we bleed
Of racism and xenophobia humanity is not in need
Some people in their thinking do seem quite small
Since they do not believe on a fair go for all

The racists among us seem to fail to realize
That the color of our skin and our hair and our eyes
Does not make us less human since our blood it is red
And we all like to sleep in a comfortable bed

Old pearls of wisdom i love to recall
We have been learning from life before we learned how to crawl
We make our own friends and create our own foes
This is how we are one would have to suppose

Of the praises of celebrities the masses may sing
But for each one of us there is a final Spring
Our journey through life must end for us one day
Then we will be equal in every way.
