In The Human World No Such A Thing As Equality Poem by Francis Duggan

The lives of the wealthy and famous we read of and hear of every day
Though many of them are not admirable people ordinary in an ordinary way
'Tis true money speaks every language with money one can even buy fame
You won't read of or hear of poor people even few wish to know a pauper by name
In the Human World no such a thing as equality or no such a thing as a fair go for all
Though the Reaper the great equalizer to his scythe every life has to fall
For the monarch the president the billionaire and the celebrity there too is a final night and day
Like all life forms us humans are mortals with Nature our last remains lay
Out of the love lives of the wealthy and famous the magazine publishers do quite well
The impressionable love reading of them and such magazines readily sell
The paparazzi for their photos and stories never visit Poverty Street
In the poorer suburb such people you are quite unlikely to meet
Of the lives of the wealthy and famous so many like to hear of and read
Though 'tis not always by good example that many of such people are known for to lead.
