All Men are Equal

All Men are Equal
All men are equal, but some are more equal than others, especially the President.
He walks on red carpet. He never need to drive his own car. He is always escorted wherever he goes. He don't have to stop for the red traffic light.

It was the day of farewell for the ex-president. Along the short road from his office to the gate, his staff awaits. As his car slowly drives out of his office, his loyal staff on both side of the road wave the little flags. The gate close behind him as his car exit to the main road.

Suddenly the traffic turned red. The car stopped...for the first time in many years. Now he had to obey the law of the road, just like the rest of the citizens. In that moment of revelation, he realised he was really no longer the President. He had become an ordinary citizen, a subject to the laws he created.
