Since Death Brings Equality Life Is This Way Poem by Francis Duggan

It is mostly of the wealthy and famous we hear of and read
And of the privileged people who are born to lead
But never of those living in Earthly Hell
Though they too do have their own stories to tell

Of homelessness, poverty and hardship on the poor side of town
They know of how it does feel to be financially down
Living rough at a young age their parents in jail
The poor of the poor suburb who were born to fail

But since death brings equality it is true for to say
That they will be equal to the wealthy and famous one day
There are no millionaires or billionaires where dead people lay
Where rigor mortis is there is only decay

The homeless and hungry who may never live to grow old
Their life stories in book form will never be told
But they will be equal to the wealthy and famous one day
Since death brings equality life is this way.
