Equality

~

by Elvis Bojangles

~

I apologize for

being too free

being too me

& too blind to see

~

You're mighty kind

sharing your mind

with the limitations of me

& offering equality

~

I cherish your gifts

your brain your madness

your body your soul

your gladness & sadness

~

It's really too much

to say you are pure

beauty & truth

prevailing unto eternity

~

But that's what you

appear to be

to a wanna-be butler

fading away on social security

~
