Privileges

Are you ready?
Really ready to give up?

The lands that you kept for yourself
Same ones that gave you centuries of wealth

That personal time you spend in your personal space
Not thinking about debt or hunger that you never face

The confidence that travels with you everywhere
When everyone gives you compliments & everything is fair

Greetings & smiles you get at high places
handshakes & drinks to close your deals & cases

That network of contacts used when in need of money, favor or a job
The protection of law you enjoy while acting as a mob

Authority positions you dearly hold, come what may
Ability to undermine me & always,
Always getting your way

All the prayers & rituals that helped soothe your sense
All the power you earned at my life’s expense

Can you do it?
Can you give up this gravy train?

Until you surrender these privileges,
Until you rip off these ugly pages

#Hashtags & trends,
Online campaigns,
Facebook groups, talks, forums, articles or the debates you run on my name
Are of no use to me

You are just appropriating my story
Those are your means to bask in more glory
