Equality


Equality is an amazing prospect.

Unfortunately it is also easy to forget. 

Sure, blacks and whites get along just great,

But there is one thing that every student will hate; 

And that is how when teachers think something wrong has occurred,

They decide they need someone to procure.

So they take the whole class and punish them,

And this is one way that equality doesn't work,

just because someone drops the ball,

doesn't mean the whole class should feel hurt.

This is not what people meant by "Equality for all."
