CLASS PRECEDES ALL OTHER CONCERNS
sonnet
Extremely eloquent ways of saying virtually nothing beyond the obvious, that we are, sooner or later, doomed.
I shall not palter or add much finesse
Because I am a heterosexual male,
And white to boot. Should I have the largesse
To accept the guilt when others assail
The women, gays, blacks or whomsoever
You think, I may think? "I take for granted
Privilege!" But I'm attacked, with anger,
For my cosmetic sin. Enchanted
I am, with cock, Eros and hue of skin
Which justifies the phlegm and excrement
Hurled my way. I endure your within,
Even as you hack away at rudiments
Which vitiate your tumid philippics -
I'm no rich kid, no cold inheritrix.
