To those who play the "Equality" game

And like to act as scorer,

You cannot make the poorer rich

By making the rich poorer.

 

What is equal?  A relative thing

When considering our existence.

Is it the gift of brain or bling

Or intransigent persistence?

 

Is it measured in material wealth

Or mental gifts applying

Or is it judged by physical health

All terminated by dying!

 

So - when you cast an envious eye

At what you don't possess

Be grateful for what life cannot buy

And you'll get more - not less.

 

I'll never own a Mayfair home

Or drive a new Rolls-Royce

But when mind and body freely roam 

I do not miss that choice.

 

Indeed I can rejoice!!
