Equal as one
Or two should be,
Equality declares
Inside of me.
Equal as halves
Of an apple should be,
Equal as the seeds
That created the tree.

Equal in life,
Both happy and sad.
Should be the same,
Both the good and the bad.

An equal world,
As free as the waves,
Always different,
And always the same.
Always washing
My soul with shame.
