Equality

john abbondante

Men were created equal
Unique in their own right
Chosen religious sequel
All partake in the fight
If strength is not your skill
knowledge you must obtain
For those that lack the will
Endure suffering, pain!
Scantily clad, exposed on the field
The Riddance of shame and spite
Swiftly decide, the weapon you'll wield
Truth in devotional rite!
Win or lose, live life elate
Need not choose, predestined fate!
