Assumptions of Entitlement

A failure to pursue The very basic things in life Shall lead to entanglements Promulgating strife. Shall lead insinuation, In a flexing of the call... That entitlements are really Not entitlements, at all. Assuming that the black man Has blood as red as thine, But thee are as lilly white As a floret on a vine? Assuming our assumptions here Are sootier than sin Then the rationale offered, Is ridiculously thin. Then you who have loved Wear black hate in your heart For they who aspire To intrude from the dark, All they, who conspire To trespass your day To sift carnally, perhaps, Your lover away. Who would argue, then, The precipitous tone That configures your honesty When caught out alone. Infidelity lost In the mire of a lie.... Which, expediently, slipped From your sweet lips, to fly? Where now the mercy, Where now the grace, Of the insidious smirk That smears your face... Having eaten the turkey, Savoured the wine With those War torn Ghazan's Starving, brutally, in grime? The curse is all around us The Woke, Effete and Prim, The Holy and the Righteous All wear that specious thing, An Entitlement to Elevate, A Right to Wear the Crown A place just to the left of God Which keeps the riffraff down. Irrespective of the nation, All languages and hue Through strata of society This malady is YOU! This spectre of entitlement In the self imposed Elite Is now the key to immolation In humanity's defeat. [email protected] 30 December 2023
