The Dichotomy of Privilege

by Ascertivus

I live a life of privilege; It’s always been my norm. A most comfortable existence I have lived, From the day that I was born. Had everything I’d ever need, And all the things I’d want. One might confuse it for greed, I never asked; it’s how I was brought up. All the food, shows, and gaming, The world had, yet I was bored. I had infinite satisfaction, But from this, complacency formed. So long I knew no else, Then my views were changed. Dad drove me through the city And expanded my viewpoint’s range.
