EQUALITY


There is enough for everyone
   to dress exquisitely
and fare like kings on finest things
   feasting sumptuously
The housing, too would be a dream
   we'd rest so peacefully
If ever this, our sick old world,
   achieved equality

All theft, and crime, and every war
   would be a memory
Each child born would chase their dreams
   and bless humanity
And there would be true peace on earth
   for all, eternally
If ever this, our sick old world,
   achieved equality

Alas, the kings who think that they
   deserve all luxury
They hoard the wealth and work the rest
   in endless slavery
They locked the doors behind themselves
   and threw away the key
That never shall our sick old world
   achieve equality

We must teach the human race
   a new morality:
Those selfish kings no more deserve
   good things than you and me
We must rise up, unite, and fight
   as one, courageously
For only then will our sick world
   achieve equality
