Equality
In the judiciary of high quality
Where the advocacy is Equality:
Ideas that keep clashing with partiality
And would not condone one more cheap casualty…
Outside the court room stripped of Audacity,
In many regions facing Adversity:
Wherever the target is facility,
Not fair matching Dullness with Agility…
In Equality we catch the leveler
Of the sedentary one and sworn traveler,
A sparsely peopled body and China’s spill-over;
Those who sweat all day and the in-clover…
But they’d fight it: Giant made equal to dwarf
For being ships you don’t pair up with boats at wharf…
One doesn’t with Equality front an Earl
Who by reason of Royalty is a Pearl
Or maiden subjects pit against Princess
Who of their own free will they highly assess…
Battling with equality is skin color:
The worse for one whose complexion is duller.
