There Is No Equality Poem by Francis Duggan

The karma we reap may well be our due
But that the law treats everyone as equal is surely not true
Out of a serious offence the wealthy can buy their way
Money speaks every language as some like to say
Even in a Democratic Country the law treats everyone as equal are words that deceive
You must be very naive if such you do believe
Where money is concerned there is no equality
The corruptible cannot be bribed by one in poverty
To buy your way out of trouble on it you can depend
The colour of your money will win you a friend
In numbers the friends of the billionaire grow
And the pauper is one that few do wish to know
And the power of money it never seems to fail
It even does keep criminals out of jail.
