A Balance

A chemical balance 
To measure the mass of a chemical
A beam balance 
To measure the mass of an object
A spring balance 
To measure the weight of an object
What's the instrument 
To measure the dignity of man
The rights of man 
The fair share amongst man
I wonder
Till now
When fate and prejudice come in
We just can't derive an instrument or  equation for
A fair share on earth 
Moreover 
There is no rule or theorem 
To seek for and derive a balance equation 
Wow 
This is what we didn't
And will never learn in Mathematics
