I DON'T EQUIVALATE
I'm supposed to be equal
As Mexican
As crazy
As homosexual
But I fall through such divisions
The fall always
Leaves intangible
Incisissions
I don't equivalate with life
The minds I see become like knives
I don't equivalate with life
You must walk dead to avoid strife
We're supposed to be humans
But we're all just
Animalistic delusions
I'm failing at being loving
And a human
Is supposed to
Equal loving
I don't equivalate with life
The minds I see become like knives
I don't equivalate with life
You must walk dead to avoid strife
And I don't fight
For my beliefs
They're in a daze
'Cause when I fight
All my beliefs
End in a haze
I don't equivalate with life
The minds I see become like knives
I don't equivalate with life
You must walk dead to avoid strife
(C) 2011 Daniel Garcia
"equivalate" conveys nicely in your poem
