Equality
We all are born unequal, a simple fact.
No matter how you slice it or use any tact.
Some were born to wealth and privilege,
others shouldn't have to suffer that act.
There are gainers and there are losers,
in this unfair crapshoot of our birth.
While some have all of the influence,
most just consume the earth.
There are always those exceptions,
the ones who rise above their birth,
but they are but ten in a hundred,
that show us what they are worth.
Equal opportunity is a heartfelt wish,
but lost to so many who just barely exist.
It takes a lot of compassion,
to break this insidious evil twist.
Where those in power manipulate,
inequality to their personal gain,
while touting fairness to everyone,
but granting only flattering disdain.

There are simply too many humans consuming more than
we need. It is time that we realize unless we reduce
our numbers and our consumption we will become unsus-
tainable. Euthanasia and abortion, as well as contra-
ception should be codified into law in every country-
in the world so that everyone can live and die in dig-
nity and prosperity--true equality.
