The Privileged Patriarchal Postcolonial Boy

The Privileged Patriarchal Postcolonial Boy

 

He vets his work for political tone

Writes nothing to annoy

And if his words offend – they’re gone!

The postcolonial boy

 

He was born and raised in poverty

His mother’s only joy

Still a child of privilege, you see

The postcolonial boy

 

No matter what he might dare say

No matter how polite, how coy

Nothing can excuse his DNA

The postcolonial boy

 

A shame it is that he submits

Agrees that he’s sans foy

He silences himself; he quits

The postcolonial boy
