An Equality Myth Cut To The Bone Poem by Terence George Craddock
An Equality Myth Cut To The Bone
all are born equal
is an equality myth
used by an elite
status quo to exploit
less privileged classes
given shoddy inferior
or no chance education
designed to work
longs hours
in multiple jobs
below a living
a minimum wage
or die in illness
disease no health care

Inspired by the poem 'Breadth Of Life' by the poet Yiyan Han.
Dedicated to the poet Yiyan Han.
A split image from the poem 'We Are But A Breath Of Life' by the poet Terence George Craddock.
A fair true poem as in many places equality is simply absent, the rich maintain their position without effort while the poor labour and toil and still don't make money. Kudos for a great thoughtful poem. Plz do read and comment my newest poem too titled ' mini earthquake experiences'
Yes sir i agree to your words. Humans enjoy dominion but work csn be done other way round too i feel. Merry Christmas to you all

A harsh yet accurate assessment of societies constructed mythos, modern democratic societies conjure themselves as being more egalitarian and showing non bias in class or race. And yet no matter what the poor still suffer. Great poem!
