Privilege

Privilege When the privilege first was given When it was still crisp and new When it had all others craving For which is granted a small few Then you reveled in its status ’Cause it gave you eminence Yes, you teased with your position And you reeked of confidence You would make sure that they noticed You would make sure that they knew And you even made it public You were from a certain crew All of this was soon accepted Everybody understood You were better than all others You alone could set the mood So the others came together And someone brought this to the fore And they all took a decision From now on they would ignore You, your pride, and all your antics For it didn’t make no sense They would not allow much longer For you to shine at their expense For your shining was too costly And it really took its toll It caused anger and confusion You respected no one’s role So while you still enjoy your privilege It is now just seen as work For you gave the wrong impression By behaving like a jerk.
