⁣"What they deserve"


People — they aren’t equal
And don’t deserve to treated
Equally


Rather, they deserve
To be treated
According to what they deserve


Some men are princes
And some men are paupers
And most are somewhere in between


Some men are kings
And some men are wretches
And some are the inverse
Of what they’re just pretending to be


All men are guilty
Few men are free
And, oh, that’s just fine by me


Slavery isn’t a condition
It’s something that you’re born as
And never can hope to escape


For every fair thinker
And every true artist
There’s ten million glossy-eyed apes


Let’s speak of the spirit
And never of riches
And let’s let true justice decide


What constitutes order
And what we should value
And who is to live and to die
