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
