Equality

It's our life
It's our right
We need our freedom
We want to sing our anthem
Girls or boys, wherever we are
Just treat us equal, whoever we are
I die of hunger
People call me a beggar
I’m lonely like a leaf
Because of ‘where I live’!
People call me names
Who has to take the blame?
I belong to a religion,
Do you have a problem?
It is my character that matters,
But by your actions, my world shatters
I want to erase the divisive words
And create a new world
With equality, with ample space for diversity

Spring

After the cold winter days
Times like today leave me in a daze
The sun smiling gently upon
The leaves dancing up and down
A light breeze
(Not the kind that makes me sneeze)
Flowers in full bloom
Swathe me in gentle perfume
Spring is here after all!
