The politician stood and declared, all men are equal,
A lady of a certain age, called out-equally stupid.
A rich man sent a servant to demand a withdrawal
A poor woman demanded a militant sequel
The politician stood and declared all men are equal
A general of the army agreed, they all die lupid
An admiral of the navy disagreed saying all just fall
A wing commander claimed drones beat all
The politician stood and declared, all men are equal,
Death stood to one side and watched banners unfurl
Life waited hoping for sanity to breakout
Humanity did its usual thing, fighting over meaning equal
The intellectual declared nothing has meaning
The worker asked for food not words
The darkness covered all -equality achieved.
