Those Who Believe That All People Are Equal Poem by Francis Duggan

Those who believe that all people are equal sadly to themselves only lie
When in the World every day many of malnutrition slowly die
If everybody were equal there would be none in poverty
And since this will never be the case there will never be equality
So many are homeless and quite poor for every financial millionaire
Who can blame the one hungry and poor for saying that life is quite unfair
To be hungry and without a home to live in from life should not be anyone's due
Though that death makes all equal one day does only happen to be true
From where the poor and jobless live in the poor suburb of the big town
It is a long way to success and even further to renown
Those who say all people are equal believe on a fair go for all
Though good and honorable in their words and in their thinking nothing small
When they say all people are equal they have it wrong or so it does seem to me
The poor and homeless of Poverty Street with them i am sure would not agree.
