Equality
“Equality”
Is not a mere assertion
That we all are the same
By contrast, life’s experience informs us
That we are each unique
With our own individual talents
Abilities
Desires and hopes and dreams
Each on our own path
In the grand journey of life
“Equality”
Is, rather, an assurance
Being an essential element
Of the social contract
Ensuring that Life
Liberty
Security and Prosperity
Are available to all
Denied to none
That opportunities are
Made uniformly available
And that justice
Is equitably applied
“Equality”
Is an ideal
As yet imperfectly realized
But nobly sought
As we recognize
The innate worth
Fundamental value
Contribution
Of each and every fellow member
Of Humanity
Enabling each and all to achieve
The highest level of accomplishment
Their individual and collective efforts
May attain
