If Everyone Were Equal How Marvelous Poem by Francis Duggan

If everyone were equal how marvelous life would be
We would not have royals and presidents all would be like you and me
Not looked upon as special we all would be the same
Some words would become redundant such as rank and wealth and fame
Everybody would be equal in every village, city and town
There would be none to look up to and none on too look down
We would not have homeless people living in dire poverty
We would not have wars and famines we would have equality
Everyone would have an equal amount of money there would not be a billionaire
Of the assets and the wealth of the World everyone would have an equal share
Human greed it would be extinct none looked up to as a great
The yearn for power and glory would have passed it's use by date
If everyone were equal how marvelous this would be
We would not have rank and class distinction everyone would be like you and me.
