Constitutional Law Anagram Poem

Concurring topics vary through substantive due process
Withhold from corporations shaped by the fourteenth amendment
Constellations of interstate commerce form a new doctrine
Protecting public health
These laws vow to regulate citizenship and safety
Privileges and immunities or "miss ties and privilege unit m"
"M" stands for meters
Meters, kilometers, miles can't and won't measure these cases
They can't and will not measure a person's equality
No math can measure
Nor can a parchment of paper
constitute equal rights
It should be known
We are and always have been equal

She Couldn't Do It

She barely could make it
Her lips quivered, trembling with doubt
She couldn't do it as much as she tried
She couldn't leave them
They were her home
Somewhere
Maybe, she would found a place for herself
But right now she needed them
Has she grown
Perhaps not
Perhaps she is afraid to leave her bubble
Perhaps she is afraid to live
Perhaps she isn't even alive
