On Equality - Statist Style...

…And Other Wise

Why should I
           work hard
                 for
     the same
      outcome
As some 
              poor
               bastard
               sitting
               on
      his bum.

                 Now,
        a part
        of Me
        working
        in
        unison
        and
        harmony
        for
    the greater
           glory
           of God:
        that's
        a
        different
        matter
Entirely.

Communism
         would try
         to elicit
         in people
         the same 
         affection
         for
         the State
         as for
         the
         Creator.
The endeavor
        is doomed
        to failure
        from
        the start
     for reflecting
     all head
     and
     no heart
         and thus
         not
         being true
To the reality
Of the matter
Anyway.

That notion
Of Equality
Is based on
           greed
           and
           envy;
    as big
    a set
    of vices
    as 
          pride
          and
          gluttony.
     Mine
    to the
    contrary
Is based on
      mutual
      appreciation
      for
      life
      with
      meaning
            beyond
            just in
            and for
            itself
     only.

        -

Our job
      in
     this
     classroom
     is
     to find out
              Why
    we're here
                and
             What
   we're supposed
             to do

   and additionally
   now:   What
     we're about
     to do

         and to help
     each other
In that process

         of putting
    the pieces
Together

          in
          Uni
          Son.


       Merry
       Christ
       Mass
       Every
                  One.
