Irony Of Equality

All of us are born equal we’re taught

Yet a desperate battle by each individual is fought

Running in this life’s race

Everyone has their own pace

Equality is giving people the same opportunity

But each of us is facing a different reality

In our own way, we are all unique

Some dive into depths of oceans while some race to touch the peaks

Then why isn’t it ok to acknowledge the differences?

After all, every human evolves from distinct experiences

In efforts to give equal chances to everyone

The race is won by none

Making odds in someone’s favor

The flavor of victory is by no one savored

By creating various starting lines

Only a mismatched ground is designed

Where instead of efforts excuses prevail

No parity is found as contrasting are the measurement scales

So here’s the irony of equality

The more we try to level the field; it leads to increasing disparity…
