(7) Privilege

It appears that Privilege, is a hard concept
for some.
These people go pale and their sweat starts to run
When it's mentioned.

Some feel anger and protest, with their defensive words.
They take to social media in livid droves, angered herds.
To say - "my life isn't easy".

And yet - no one is saying that your life isn't hard.
That you weren't dealt some tricky and unfortunate cards.

If you listen, If you hear - what is really being said.
If you engage with your heart. Open your mind.
Use your head.

You will see there are people who you don't know by name.
Who aren't even allowed to partake in the game.

And that - is your privilege.
