What If Equality Was A Thing?

What if we all were treated as equals?
Ignoring all differences of all peoples.
Despite people’s race, age , gender or “imperfections”,
All uniting as one from different directions.
Your accent, the language you speak or origin doesn’t matter,
Cause we all are climbing up the same ladder
It doesn’t matter the skin, hair, clothing or size of your body,
Cause that doesn't show what you embody.
Your gender shouldn’t defy how you are treated by society,
Cause our society’s happiness should be our topmost priority.
You should be treated as equals regardless of your age,
Giving you no freedom would be like trapping you in a cage.
So then why do we live in a world like this,
If this continues, we will soon be lost in the abyss.
But if we put a stop to this trouble,
People would no longer have to go through this hustle!
