Equality Poem by Kresta Farr

What more can a girl with everything wish for?
What more can a girl with nothing be denied?
If you put the to in a room together would the rich girl share?
Or would the poor girl cry sadly but steal they toy she wants?
If everyone was treated equally would people feel the same?
Or would people still be treated differently to keep the world in shame?
If you were given a wish, would you wish for more, less or equal to the rest?
Would you take the life of a Queen or King, or rather the life of a pauper?
You see the poor girls alone and crying, do you walk past or stop?
You see the rich girl looking unhappy, will u make her smile?
Is everybody equal and if not why?
For everyone is born to live,
And then to die,
So surely we are equal?
But if not why?
