Inequality

blue sky overhead sunlight shines all around clouds do float upon the wind water flows and fishes swim trees and flowers do abound mountain peaks cold and warm desert sand wind does blow on all the land rain and snow falls all around rivers flow to lakes and sea forests grow on the mountainsides grasses grow in meadows below and wide plains were grains grow deserts are upon the land dusty planes where the wind blows dry dead seas where nothing lives stinking seas of salt without life ashes black were fire spread the world is like a treasure house with many shelves which to hold all the things that man may need yet all the shelves are not full nor are they all equally filled certain shelves to each belong holding whatever they may different talents each may have different abilities which to do suited not to what they have wherever they may be what ever maybe there some have much and others do not some have nothing there is no reason for how it is some have not what they need to live life’s of ease life’s of joy others have more than they can use life’s of luxury life’s of excess often those with riches do have the power which to use to take from them who have less building excess ever more there is for each and every one part of earth’s wealth untold all might have an equal part living life’s of equal joy sharing each and every one equal light on each to fall equal water to each to go equal chance for everyone everyone a chance to dream equal life for everyone
