Harrison Bergeron


In a future world, where everyone must be the same each day. No one smarter,

no one strong, Equality enforced, all day long.

Harrison Bergeron, a boy so bright, and strong that the government feared so much,

was tookaway, in the dead of night.

Harrison broke free and from a moment he stood on a tv stage, so tall and proud,

Declared his freedom, to the crowd.

But the Handicapper General, so bad and cold, Shot him dow.

A world where no one dares to dream, Equality, the cruelest thing.i

So remember Harrison, brave and bold,Stand up for what you know is right,

And never give up the fight.
