Is human equality a reality?

Or is it just a fantasy, yet another fallacy?

Imagine if a Caucasian child dies in America today; there would be a national outcry

Hundreds of children die in Africa every day, and we don’t even wonder why?

The truth is humanity will never be equal

Just look at history and you will see it’s just another sequel

With changing characters and faces

Oppressing different types of people and races

The blood of one man will always be worth more than another’s

Even on the streets we got brothers killing brothers

It sad isn’t it, how America seems to run this whole scene

Committing atrocities and then just wiping their hands clean

Where is the global outcry when they kidnapped, raped and killed innocent people in Afghanistan?

What about those random bombs they decide to drop in villages in Pakistan?

We can’t forget about the chemicals dropped on innocent Vietnamese

And all they had to say was, “My bad, we meant to make peace.”

But the world stays silent, shutting their ears and covering their eyes

See no evil and hear no cries

Evidently these people will back lash

Attacking you’re country with a smash

Just like you destroyed their nation

Killing their brothers and sisters with no hesitation

But this is where the inequality of our society becomes crystal clear

Because now you and I open our ears and the cries of Americans we can clearly hear

Now tell me, does equality really exist?

If so, there must be something I’ve missed
