Yes...iv'e had 'friends' who just use you as a court jester...and am i too serious at times?-mm-quite possibly, since i do not like the way the world is heading...by the way, their is a song that describes me when i feel the way this poem describes- its a track called 'Mental', by the eels...nice write, i enjoyed reading this

I have to bring in the World,"Equality" as it is so very miss understood......the word equality was created in the French revolution to tell,that everybody,no matter you was rich or poor,you had to have the same rights in front of the law .....now it is used for to be the same,like to be cloned with somebody .......the only right way to use equality is,to accept,that everyone no matter of race,gender or what ever else,have the same rights in front of the society,to BE THEM SELF and not force them to clone them self by expectations from the outside .....so in short, we should all have the rights to be our REAL SELF,so long that we don't hurt anybody or make some bad things.
Anyway,what a grey world it could be,if we are all the same .....with no color from the difference.
You tell in your poem,what so many of us experience
