A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the years following, from August 2024 to August 2025, 2025 to 2026 (provided I live that long, of course).

Equality

Equality is like tomorrow
promises much but has to borrow
the problem is we’re not the same
in being diff’rent there’s no shame.

We’re all equipped with special talents
they work together to give balance
for each of us a diff’rent mould
some may be steel but others gold.

And force the issue if you will
identical thoughts the mould to fill
it does not matter how you strive
what you create will be the hive.
