There Is Only Equality Poem by Francis Duggan

In a World where many grow poorer for every new millionaire
Even in so called wealthy Nations the homeless are no longer rare
And in big urban and suburban parks it is a common sight
To see people on park benches sleeping at night
This is what happens in a World where for one to win many have to lose
Though losing is a thing anyone does not choose
Even poverty does come at varying degrees
In the refugee camps of the World millions of refugees
From war zones and victims of famines in refugee camps today
At least thirty million quite a lot one might say
There will always be the wealthy and those in poverty
Equality among the living it will never be
Among the living this is how it is and will be and has always been this way
There is only equality where dead people lay.
