Theme Thursday - Equal

An earnest wish

Dreamt by so many

Hoping to rightfully create 
More equity and justice.

Sit-ins, protests, and rallies abound

As all have their place

In this Quixote-like search
To remold and revamp.

Desperately reaching

And showing such valor

The change-seekers

Plead, exhort, and challenge.

If we continue to strive,

To rethink our fears and be open

Our more tolerant thoughts and ideas

Will resound and be heard.

Then onto the next round
Whatever it might be
Continuing the battle of progress
That constantly beckons.
