Bloody crack of the master's whip
The projects are his new slave ship
Options are bicarbonate or carbine
White privilege. That asset of mine
Too many chained in the camp
Choking on homophobic rants
Rise up, equal friends of thine
Straight privilege. That asset of mine
Doubling up on x really isn't any better
Vote as she may, true change is beyond her
In one out the other, men are swine
Male privilege. That asset of mine
Little issue I have meeting my every need
Yet bloated toddlers know not their next feed
Fuck the boxes under the festive pine
1st world privilege. That asset of mine

Thanks JSG ~ for a nicely structured poem ~ love rhyming couplets. The subject exposes the Patriarchal Societies in which most of us live ! In the UK we have a Queen (64 years) and now a Female Prime Minister. However Females still earn less than Males for a similar job and most top jobs are influenced by Old Boy networks and not Old Girls. In a sense because biologically Ladies have to carry (for 9 critical months) the next generation ~ which Men order ~ their career paths are interrupted if they (and their partner) want to start a Family. Alas we live in a very unequal World. I for one support Ladies and always appoint them of they are the most appropriate candidate. Females make up more than 50% of the population and this should be reflected in Society ~ Yours BRIAN.
Thanks for the feedback Brian, nepotism does play a huge role in today's society and since those in power are generally men as you say, woman are unfairly represented. JSG
