Just beneath the surface
The cells all look the same
There is no race or pronouns
No need to call them names
Close your eyes to see them
Achievements look alike
They each can lead a country
Write a book, or ride a bike
When our eyes are open
We don’t always see the truth
We see with slant and bias
Imposed within our youth
Learning makes us better
Changing the way we feel
Lending new perspective
That lets us see what’s real
About the Inspirational Poem Equality
Equality is an inspirational poem about how we are all equal. Just below the surface of our skin, the cells all look the same regardless of gender, race or sexual preference. The sooner we can see that we are the same, the sooner we can start to work together to make the world a better place.
This was originally written for International Woman’s Day but it applies every day, every where. I am posting this just as life on planet Earth is in the initial grips of the Covid 19 virus. It doesn’t matter where it came from, what matters is that is everywhere and we are all connected. This should not be a time for blame and isolationism. This should be about helping everyone. Race, borders or politics are not obstacles to it’s spread. So why should it be for other things?
Aside from a speedy recovery, my hope for everyone is that we emerge from this with a realization that we are one people and one planet. We are too inter-connected to not have impact on all people. Things like global warming might be slower to show their affects but have no less an impact on us as a people. It doesn’t matter what chromosomes we have, how we look, where we live, or who we love. We are all connected. What we do to one person or group eventually will have an impact on us. We are all equal!
Inspirational Poetry Books
Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products
While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
