Gershon Wolf Poet Acrostic

All the Disadvantages

W   hy was I cursed with this white skin
H    ow can I ever possibly win
I     n a world of mandatory diversity
T    he odds are I face a life of adversity
E    specially if I attend a university

M   oreover, I seem to be the wrong gender
A    ssaulting sensibilities oh-so-tender...and
L    est I think I even stand a chance
E    very one knows who wears the pants!
