If White Privileges Were Real

^[1]413 words

If White Privileges were real
In our hearts and in our homes
Our good-byes would be hellos
And whispers would be bellows
As thoughts distort and form against
the glare of august fellows
Who contemplate ethnology
And sociobiology
From dog-eared, ink-smeared pages
Of unforbidden tomes.
This would all defy surreal
If White Privileges were real.

If White Privileges were real
In our counties and our towns
Narcotic spates of death
From oxy-c and meth
Would feed our smartly bobbing heads
The perfect shibboleth
For fretting the calamity
Which ruptured all our amity
Unmooring us from nations like
A fisherman who drowns.
This is what we would reveal
If White Privileges were real.

If White Privileges were real
With our oligarchs and lords
On Main and Elm and Second
Our children gently reckoned
Would swap and share wax-papered treats
Arriving home unbeckoned
Safe from man’s misrule-ty
And calculated cruelty
With hearts of love protecting them
Like razor-sharpened swords.
Ambivalence we would repeal
If White Privileges were real.

If White Privileges were real
To the zealots hocking news
Their forthright tone un-goading
Would disregard decoding
And issue who’s and where’s and why’s
To counteract foreboding
And cancel the selective grip
Of sneering tribal censorship
Subverting cryptic motives of
Sardonic tales which ooze.
This loaded deck we would un-deal
If White Privileges were real.

If White Privileges were real
From the mountains to the shore
Acquainted faces freely
Would speak almost ideally
Of uniform pursuits but not
In Bantu or Swahili
Against oblique authorities
Which instigate minorities
To permeate their trusting host
Like army ants at war.
Our hearts we would equip with steel
If White Privileges were real.

If White Privileges were real
To our enemies who reign
Borders soon erected
And differences respected
Would ratify an ethnostate
A nation unaffected
With care for its posterity
And lineal prosperity
And guns and ships and planes and tanks
In peace we will restrain.
But to survive we must appeal
For White Privilege to be real.

To survive we must appeal
For White Privilege to be real.
