All of Us Are Equal
They said we were equal
That is what they made us believe
However they acted different
Responded with greed
He laid out the rules
For all of us to read
Pretending to us
That he will do good deeds
He pretends to be kind
Loving and care
A natural leader
That many could bare
We chose him to lead us
Guide us the right path
And so he did
Until one day at last
We observed the rules
That he had laid out
They had been improvised
Twisted and in doubt
He had changed them
Without our consent
Forgotten their meaning
He left a large dent
They were disloyal to us all
Except him and his helpers
They were based on greed
Not the people and others
He is so selfish
Inconsiderate, a fool
We realized then
We can’t stand to his rule
He stepped over us
Didn’t care for our food
He took control
And acted very rude
He always spoiled himself
Being a jerk
He threatened with the military
To keep us at work
We tried to rebel
But his armies too great
Working without food
Our lives were at stake
I had a good friend
Who had injured himself
We told him the story
He set my friend on the shelf
My friend couldn’t work
He said he would get help
But help never came
And my friend died in pain
that’s the last straw
We had to escape
So we snuck out at night
And put on our capes
He remained alone
With no one to rule
He had been forgotten
Because his rules were to cruel
He had an empty heart
That’s what set him apart
For it was spoiled and rotten
And that is why he was forgotten
We waited and waited
In the cold wet rain
We had only realized
What more could we gain
We were finally free
To work for ourselves
Not worry about him
What more could we need
And so my friends
I hope you understand
That achievements can be accomplished
By work not demand
I have not told you
Who he might be
He is man
Very selfish and greedy
