Privilege

Justsomegeeze

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

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    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
