Only The Dead are Equal

 Some start with wealth

Others start with health

Some are poor

The others work till they are sore

 

We are not equal

We are not made fair

We are not made square

A truly fair person is rare

 

Equal is a mere word

That is often heard

Life isn’t fair

 It is just despair

 

In the end it is fair

There is no despair

A coffin with only dust and bones in there

Only after death is it fair

In death there is no rich and poor or strong and weak. In death everyone is equal,as you said in your quote: sucide is not murder but freedom. Very good poem and quote.

I understand. And yeah I agree.
