Poetry – Equality, Fairness and Tolerance

Equality, Fairness and Tolerance

Equality, fairness and tolerance

Were the cries from the scaffold

As the crowd jeered and called for blood.

They hung the three of them on the gibbet

For there was no room for such disgusting thoughts.

They had to pay the price.

Fairness – an absurd idea.

Equality – such madness.

Tolerance – not to be tolerated.

Left swaying in the breeze.

Human nature seems to not want these qualities. They are murdered whenever they rear their heads.
