Worth the Same
July 5, 2020
Two people, different color and name
Such friends there never were before
Until they saw they weren’t the same
And thought that one must be worth more.
An argument was what ensued
And this was always their reply,
“If you don’t think I’m better than you,
You must think yourself higher than I.”
And since then, several mediators
Have tried to make this tension fade,
But thinking one had to be greater
Dismantled any progress made.
So gentles all, I’m sad to say
They quickly became enemies
They haven’t spoken since that day
And all because they didn’t see
That despite their color, gender, or name,
In God’s eyes, they were worth the same.

All the racial tensions in our country really upset me, so I wanted to write about it. I wanted to establish that no one is worth any more or less because of their name, their gender, or their color.
