Equal distribution is not freedom.
Equality in wants and aptitude
Cannot be achieved to ensure freedom.
Prisoners, of course, enjoy equality.
Equal rights can form a base of freedom.
Equal opportunities can follow.
To achieve this, must come one unequal,
With rights and privilege accumulated.
Dictatorships are outcome of equality.
A few remain free, with others in shackles.
Inequality can bring anarchy
And will ask dictatorship to step in.
Freedom is being free to be what I'm;
Freedom is being free to choose my way.
Freedom is being free to will no harm.
A society, not a herd, can bring freedom.
