Ali Znaidi- A Poem

Of Death & Equality
 
death
                 equality
                                par excellence
        burial
                                in oblivion or
commemoration
                                    forever
 
drowning in water
                         w/out any trace or
preserving
                   the golden fleece
                  
                      in a Greek
masterpiece
 
an equal act,
    
                      though the performance
 
is totally different
