It is wrong to use equal language for unequal actions.

Sonnet: All Men Are Equal before God
The things we find are of unequal size,
Amongst mountains, rivers, places and trees!
Two men have unequal virtues and vice;
So are the beasts, dew-drops, the wind and breeze.
The surface of the sea has wavelets, waves;
Two grains of sand ashore aren’t equal-sized;
Unequal are all men on land and caves;
A hierarchy appears that looks much lysed.
Despite great differences, there’s harmony!
All things are equal ’fore the eyes of God;
Though different hives make differently honey,
The souls of men appear alike to Lord.
One isn’t made like the other in this world;
Yet, we can all make it to God’s Abode!

Each One Of Us
Unequal weights and unequal measures,
Even a child is known by his or her own actions;
But the courts are now opened and,
There are proconsuls available for each one of us.

In equal footings
I brought up two sons on equal footing
They grew in unequal size in wealth
The rich son limited his share to that
Of the other in giving me pension.
Yes, both bring me up in equal alms.

If 1 And 2 Were Equal
If 1 and 2 were equal
we'd have as many hearts as fists
If 1 and 2 were equal
we'd have confused shopping lists
If 1 and 2 were equal
there'd be less phone numbers to dial
If 1 and 2 were equal
noon would surely last a while
If 1 and 2 were equal
there'd be a nose under each eye
If 1 and 2 were equal
you couldn't say no to 'you and I? '
If 1 and 2 were equal
I think I'd be much more happy
'cause if 1 and 2 were equal
I would not be so lonely

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.

An Absolute That's Never The Same
Someone has to believe.
As someone needs not to believe.
A equal balance.
Let order bring chaos.
And let chaos bring order.
Whether in what we believe in or believe not be true or rot.
It should not be measured by men of either of equal or unequal standards.
For a measurement now will change in 100 years.
How we go about it will change.
An absolute is nothing ever stays the same.
This is of course a oxymoron.
A contradiction in it's own terms.
But it does make it any less true.
Just the word I used isn't of the proper glue.

If your language lacks poetry and paradox, it’s unequal to the task of accounting for actuality. Otherwise anything radically new is literally unspeakable.

equal rights to live,
equal rights to love.
equal rights to believe,
to speak out, to stand up
and be counted.
equal rights to work,
equal rights to study.
equal rights to build.
equal rights to profess faith,
equal rights to pray.
equal rights to give...
equal rights to live,
equal rights to love!

If You Wish To Keep God On Your Side
Many people of the World's greatest religions one common thought do share
They think that they can save their souls from hell by the simple act of prayer
But if there is a God and an afterlife they surely have got it wrong
For God should be for everyone and everyone to God belong.
If you are one who believes in prayer but by God's law does not live
Then your fair God on judgement day much sympathy to you will not give
If you do lack in honour and wrong others in some way
Then your God will not pardon you though hard to him you pray.
Those who do their killing in God's name to his kingdom will not enter in
For murder in God's eyes no matter what the cause is a death of the soul sin
And abuse and rape of others God too find hard to forgive
If you wish to keep God on your side a good life you must live.
There's far more to the soul's salvation than some do realize
For those unequal in the eyes of man would be equal in God's eyes
And if there is an afterlife in another World somewhere
For entry into such a special place one would need more than prayer.

No more tears! watch your actions!
Newton's third law says that every action has equal and opposite reaction,
A Great Scientist, the son of Europe, opened the gate that was shut,
His theory is limited to chemical action and reaction, not to the human's,
If we show the other cheek, we will be slapped; don't let others to slap,
If we do bad actions, we will receive bad reaction in near future or far,
If we do good actions, we will be blessed with good reaction of peace,
No one can run away from their actions, as it is recorded in our fate,
Even we do not have enough time to receive and enjoy,
Even we do not have enough time to receive and regret,
We may have our subsequent birth to continue the same route,
If we hurt someone in the morning, we will be hurt in the evening,
All these facts are simple, easy to follow, when our actions are good.

Tell Me What Is Wrong
The look on your face tonight
And the tension that grew
Tells me something is wrong
But you don't let me through
Tell Me What Is Wrong
Your eyes give you so away
Your actions are not the same
Why must you lead me on here
In this unfair guessing game
Tell Me What Is Wrong

Unequal funding resources also results in unequal educational opportunity when you consider studies that show that one half of low income students who are qualified to attend college do not attend because they can't afford to.

Consequences
do not forget
that for every action
there is always a reaction
that a body at rests
always stays at rest
unless acted upon by
an unequal force
opposite that
direction
this is the law in physics
so unforgiving
mercilessly operating
in the universe
if you think that i am
speaking about us
so shall it be
with what you have done
we both shall
suffer the
consequences of your
actions
because we are one
in all these
your mistakes
and miscalculations
included
and so here i am by your
side
suffering gladly

Equal?
How many men are created equal?
That's to hard to figure out.
How many men are created equal?
Preacher says 'ALL of us'
Hear him shout.
I guess he's forgotten what equal means.
He must be thinkin' about countin' beans.
One for you, two for me.
Count 'em up and you'll see
just what equal's all about?
Equal's really all about
who's doin' the countin'.
