Hello EQUALITY

Honore de Balzac said-

"Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact."

Quotes like this hit the nerves of society. The very moment I read it, all the fundamental rights, multifarious directive principles, fancy laws, duties and typical textbook statements flashed right in front of my eyes and then the long phase of mentation kicked in. Wide eyed I stared in the void for answers.

Is EQUALITY an illusion which we all have agreed to agree upon ?

Or its just an imagination which is too good to be true ?

Is all of this 

a ruse

or an instrument 

to infuse, the confuse 

in bleak minds. 

or its to add 

layers and layers of 

faux hopes

and murky blinds.  

Color, caste

fails to cease.
but there's panoply 

of laws to 

brag about and appease. 

Gender inequality
raises scandalous
questions on 
humans and humanity.
History and geography 
filled with scars. 
For many, safe havens 
are too far.

But, the one that

aches most

is the money

n the power
Whose host 
outfoxes all. 
Below whose knees 
everyone fall.  
Brings forth
an abyss of status 
deepest of All.  

Parameters are many 
none can be ignored. 
But
It won't do any good 
to bring them up.
As they are relative
and too curved
to keep up.

PS: It doesn't mean that there's an absolute chaos and mayhem all around. People all over the planet have managed to reduce INEQUALITY in all spheres to some levels. But still there are many stumbles to cross and miles to go. All we can do is hope.  It's the luxury which everyone can afford and the best thing about HOPE is, it costs nothing.
