Equity

Equal does not equal
equality
equality requires achieving
equitablility
a Brave New World where
Baryshnikov
is hobbled by leaden shoes and
Mozart
performs with fingerless mittens and
Einstein
is lobotomized to ensure he does not suffer
greatness

Why should anyone else
soar
while I am firmly on the
ground
it is not fair that I am not as
agile
and it is not fair that I am not as
talented
and it is not fair that I am not as
intelligent
and I demand that this situation be made
equitable

What others have I should also
have
for the act of my birth the world owes
me
and my payment shall be equality through
equitablility
