175.365 - privilege

white privilege
is reading another man’s
songs of rebellion
and knowing it was not you
he rebelled against
and at the same time it was you
your hands held the rifle
whose bayonet pierced his lung
even if you weren’t born yet
even if you own no land
and work for the same white slavers
yours were the hands
and would be again
