[bodytext] => Imagine a utopian society of equality: No more roadside box homes with personal economic advertisements in display on their front yards asking for generous donations. No more spending potential money you won't be able to pay back just so you can live day to day and it's still not enough to satisfy your starvation for better. But if we keep striving to close this educational gap between high and low income families in America's smile, it will only conceal the halitosis lingering in the back of our realities. In actuality, we thrive on that feeling of hope planted in the eyes of a child watching First Lady Michelle Obama speak in front of millions, and mother sing songs of overcoming. Overcoming what? The mispronunciation of equality in America's bible spelling our rights? Lobbyists picketing pitches of no more family betrayal from Congress to its brethren because it's a sin. Even though this is blasphemy against America's integrity, We don't want to stand for equality. Healers of the body rewarded the same as healers of the mind. No matter how much more effort and time spent on perfecting the art of the human body than the basics of rudimentary knowledge, the pay will be the same. This is equality. This is a battle not worth winning. Face it, we come from a selfish breed of the respiration photosynthetic cycle. Naturally exhaling for the inhalation of another's existence without wanting in return. Receiving not thinking about what has just happened. But, by nature, we are the same people who practice greed. Can you really live comfortably not able to hitch a ride on the plan of social mobility?
