We are inequality
The breaking back they do not see
A life that’s plagued with drudgery
The “poor man’s” king, a wannabe
Beset with invisibility
And yet we covet furtively
Afraid to wish too greedily
For wealth acquired stealthily
Is that which plagues society
And scales that tip egregiously
In favour of a family tree
That hoarded quite sadistically
Acquired so successfully
The means to take dishonestly
And live, if not quite happily
At least protect their legacy
We can’t ignore with apathy
That change won’t come and finally
Allowing those in poverty
The right to life of dignity
In world as fair as it is free
A pipe dream? No! Our destiny!
