Struggling to reconcile
Liberty and justice for all
and
Equality
in a country
Where discrimination is
not illegal.
Where decisions are made
based on
religious principles,
In a country
founded
by men
who believed in a
Separation of church and state.
Struggling to understand my place
in a country
where
my religion is a minority
And my belief system,
my ethics
my values
are demeaned
Based upon religious teachings
of wealthy powerful leaders,
Rather than the true words of our prophets
and the spirituality of God.
