Birthright To dwell on the prominence Of some white men Is a mistake In this culture. To be? Listened to Acknowledged Is a cherished feeling That everyone deserves. Or not to be? Heard But what you learned Was of their privilege From birthright. Yet with acknowledgement And equality Anyone Can succeed In fighting prejudice.
