All Men are Created Equal
Holly Jorgensen
All men are created equal and that may be so
But what defines a man is the breadth of his soul
A righteous man will stand up and say
“Come with me, I’ll show you the way”
A lying man will build you up
Just to tear out your heart and lock it up
A prayerful man on bended knee
Will pray for you so that you can see
An angry man is bitter at best
Can’t understand why his life is a mess
An honest man will sit by you
Hold your hand and tell you what is true
A rebellious man will ruffle feathers
He somehow finds pleasure in troubling others
A kind man will show up at your door
Ask what he can do, and then do more
A jealous man will seek to covet
Can’t see beyond himself or rise above it
A thoughtful man will listen to your dreams
Let you share your life and allow you to beam
A hardened man with a heart made of stone
Can’t even weep, even when alone
The fruit of a man are the seeds that he sows
Along the path of his life, affecting all that he knows
