I will crawl through the gap,
and squeeze between golden bars
that confine all
that are said to be created equal
and entitled to a uniform treatment after death-
and I will
turn over the watch glass of life.
Back to the end of the previous life
where all moved on in unison
and in equal strides and steps.
Back to the beginning
where we were made
to stand down to higher names.
Back to the beginning
where we were made
and enclosed in one-track minds.
Where we were made
to mimic judgment.
To chastise differences.
And back to the beginning
where we chose
to follow in line.
And I will change his work;
his beautifully molded creatures.
And I will change them.
And I will change them
for in years to come,
discrimination will not be a word.
That meaning will never be known.
That hurt never bestowed.
And I will change them.
And I will change them,
though I will not change their hearts,
and I will not change their minds.
I will change them.
I will change them
for the better of mankind.
But their life will still be theirs,
though their perception
may be altered a tad-
thanks to my limitation
of their bible…their dictionary.

I like this, The end kind of hit me until I thought about it, It is true. Many people alter words from the bible to fit there twisted meanings. It causes limits on us. Society is messed up regardless what is twisted.
