...A recipe for dystopia,
like old Harrison Bergeron,
equality taken too far
is a symphony of the wrong.
The communists proved this quite well,
all their power could not make it work,
mankind is not made to be equal,
attempting it drives things berserk.
It is a far better idea
to try to make people more free,
this produces better effects
for the whole of society.

Freedom may mean different outcomes,
but as we’ve noted, that’s a good thing,
and freedom gives people the chance
to change what their future might bring.
You can screw up, time after time,
and still be free to try again.
for those who do strive to improve
success can be around the bend.
Freedom lets the people decide
what they life is even about,
money, family, serving a god,
whatever greater good you tout.

Freedom means you can take a chance
with some expectation of reward,
without this we would just stagnate,
still be running around with swords.
In fact freedom plus incentive
is why we have advanced at all,
if you’re not free to try and fail
then technology would’ve stalled.
If all folks had to be equal,
then why bother getting ahead?
Freedom to profit built this world,
there’s wisdom in what Adam Smith said.

Freedom means you can say all things,
not be limited to one line,
can you imagine the boredom
if we said the same things all the time?
Freedom gives you the chance to find
your potential, you own unique path.
Equality is an imposed state,
deviate and you will face wrath.
What person would want to live like that?
Subject themselves to such a hell?
Freedom is the only way to
ever realize your unique self.

So I think that it is safe to say
to the egalitarian urge,
known that your goal cannot exist,
no matter how much jealousy yearns.
We are not made to be the same,
the outcomes will always be skewed,
and that all of these differences
are the price you pay to be you.
The Founders knew it long ago,
that freedom beats equality,
and that most folks who think otherwise
would just lead us to tyranny.
