Disadvantage Point

you could never understand,
what we're denied 
from the vantage point
on which you stand,
your privilege

your money, power,
your cap and gown,
block this from view
when you look down,
from privilege

you cannot see, or you forget,
that all was built on
the blood and sweat 
of those that you now stand upon,
with privilege
