We Are Not Born Equal I could easily argue that God is not fair that babies are born in poverty with health issues extreme that cannot be medically healed even though wealth can often buy medicine operations giving life prolonging life a better life the advantages of born with silver spoon privilege's versus plastic spoon limitations is obvious without even addressing first and third world issues it is obvious real life has no equality

A powerful and very inspiring poem. Great thoughts that impart wisdom and will find their way in our hearts. " Many broad lives are short But it's these great lives The real soul of all humanity And light up the way of future." Wonderful lines from a great poem. Five Stars! ! !

The obvious has less value, awareness, this is a society of games, distractions, few want to think, face reality, develop mind and soul into understanding. Perhaps this requires too much effort, for a pleasure seeking release from work society, but the present world reality unsettles and scares too many with anxiety, when they stop to think.

A poem I wrote back in 1982, 'State Of 20th Century Man', asks questions directly relating to some of these ideals and issues, but below the surface the questions are deep. The poem is writing on several levels of consciousness, it requires several readings, meditation on some lines, to go beneath the surface.

I love the ideals of this poem, the aspiration and attainment of these ideals, should be humanities quest. 'God is fair Each life has only one lifetime' I could easily argue that God is not fair, that babies are born in poverty and health issues that cannot be healed. The advantages of born with silver spoon privilege's, versus plastic spoon limitations, without even addressing first and third world issues is obvious.
