Glad
So glad I wasn’t born a Daesh Child
Or Indian lower caste.
Or in some ghetto in Brazil
Or wherever.
The hands of Fate were kind to me,
Being born a Brit.
An easy life, compared to many men.
To think I could have been born anywhere:
A black, white or yellow,
Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu….
Even a Royal!
I’m glad indeed at what I am,
But should my birth determine all?
I must have Choices
Little though they be.
I choose Agnostic though I’m C of E,
And Humanist is my Way.
My Love of Nature is a solid choice:
Compassionate Kindness being my Creed.
My race and gender (and being Straight)
Are set in stone
Popular or not.
But otherwise I’m just very glad
To be Free.
Paul Butters
