Not All Created Are Equal

Not All Created Are Equal
By Franklin Price

Not all created are equal
I'm really so sorry to say
The differences are quite distinctive
They're as clear as the night is to day

Some are born to live in a mansion
Some from a ghetto will be
All others are in between somewhere
Where we end up we're going to see

All will have heads on their shoulders
And varieties of brains there within
The ability to use them so varied
It's hard to tell where to begin

The color of skin placed in order
From the darkest to lightest to be 
With the world standing shoulder to shoulder
The division we never will see

The physically strong can take over
While the mentally strong will control
Then throw in the man with the money
And you better watch out for your soul

The puzzles of life have their pieces
In one or more we have a fit 
Some stay in their ones of creation
While others branch out just a bit

If God has bestowed upon you
The intelligence to think on your own
Then create the best puzzle for your life
Don't blame others and don't moan and groan
