Unjustifiable Equality
Whoever said, “Every man is equal”
Must not have seen much of life
The world and its errors that we can’t fix
Makes it a constant fight
Not everyone is wealthy
And not everyone gets it in a hurry
Some of us actually struggle
And there are most of us who have to worry
There’s some who feed with silver spoons
Who hardly feel life’s pains
And others of us deal with life
And all of its complaints
Life itself is discrimination
And I believe there’s no equality
How do you put wealth on a platform?
While at the same time hiding poverty
Why do the rich and wealthy
Have the right to look down?
On the so called equal people,
That are stuck on the ground
Rich and poor together
Do not at all equal the same
So someone tell me please
How does it add up?
There will always be a ground
And over it the clouds hovers
People as a whole maybe similar
But never equal to each other
