  • Sexism

    Sexism

    Sexism is terrible.

    It is horrendous.

    It is disastrous.

    It’s the treatment of one sex,

    Usually women,

    In a negative way

    For what’s between their legs.

    It is male privilege

    That perpetuates

    This messed up system.

  • Racism

    Racism

    Racism; it is a system

    Where a person is treated different

    For the color of their skin pigments.

    It is a system

    That has oppressed millions

    For many generations.

    The only way to end it

    Is to fight against it.

    In order to do that, we must acknowledge

    The existence

    Of white privilege.

  • Privilege

    Privilege

    Privilege; it’s a thing that exists.

    You can have privilege for being white, male, or cis.

    There’s also privilege for being pretty, tall, or thin.

    There is even privilege for being fucking rich.

    Privilege is everywhere, and it is fucking shit.

    It is a system where you can get judged for the color of your skin and pigments.

    It is a system where men can’t show their emotions.

    It is a system where rich men can pollute the environment.

    It is a system where businesses can lobby the government.

    It is a system where you can be demonized for being an immigrant, poor, or homeless.

    It is a system that causes great division.

    But do not despair; not all is hopeless!

    There is a way; a way we can fix this.

    We must make people aware; aware of their privilege.

    We must make people realize that the problem is systemic,

    And that privilege is not just simply something that one is born in.

    Privilege is something that society has decided.

    Privilege can give people an unfair advantage,

    And can also promote hypocrisy and double standards.

    Those with privilege can get praised for something,

    And if marginalized groups do it,

    Those with privilege have a fit.

    It’s bullshit.

    This shit needs to end.

    It’s time we give a voice to those who are voiceless.
