Privileged Poems | Examples

Privileged

When you see a performance
That’s live, on a stage,
If you’re lucky, the show
With your mind will engage.

When the dialogue’s snappy,
The scenery great,
With costumes and dancing
And music first-rate…

You’ll tell all your friends
To buy tickets real fast,
Before there’s a change
In this prominent cast.

Since when there’s a performer
Who brings down the house,
You feel privileged to see her 
(And so does your spouse).

Just witnessing that 
Will remain in your mind
Long after you’ve left
Other viewings behind.

So to Audra McDonald,
In “Gypsy” right now,
Your Rose will live on 
Well beyond your last bow.

OVER PRIVILEGED

As I walk into the large room
Full of bags and no spare hand
Looking for a place to loom
In a room so grand

Shuffling with my heavy load
Looking for a place to settle
I see a corner of some sort 
Next to a hot kettle 

A lovely place to warm my toes
And count my penny lasts
As I settled down my clothes 
I heard someone ask

Can I help you?"
In her most stern tone
I stood up and took my view
At her overly judging frown

Trying to make me look small
As she was the management 
I stood up tall
In her establishment 

Taking my time, Hesitating 
To collect my belongings
Knowledge that she hated
My existence in her holdings

As I shuffled in her direction 
Disappointment she didn't hide
Not a sign of human affection 
Waiting impatiently for my reply

Why should I satisfy her needs
So I showed her my back
To the exit I proceed
And loudly sound "no thanks"

A Privileged Soak

Take courage, child, when the storm speaks,
A privileged soak that wakes you up,
For God dispels the mountain peaks.
Take courage, child, when the storm speaks.
Ancient of Days, of whirlwind streaks, 
Takes off your blinder shades, shakes up.
Take courage, child, when the storm speaks.
A privileged soak that wakes you up.

What a Priveledge It Is To Be Mom and Dad

What a night! 
What a beautiful night !
The changes we make
The priorities we put forward
The daily mess in our home
Reflect like a florescent lamp glowing all over the places
Oh what a priveledge it is...
To be mom and dad to our baby girl??

Privileged

We're privileged of being aware of our rights,
we're privileged to sleep well at nights.
It's not so common to raise the voice,
we're privileged to do as we choice.
I know we have lots of hurdle to face,
but the thing is that this isn't a fair race.
There are some people who are socially dumb,
you'll find them just starving for a crumb.
Laying on the streets, waking up with hope;
maybe today they can get succour for cope.
We're privileged to live with lots of beaming smiles,
for them on the streets, your life is their PARADISE.

A Privileged Education

A PRIVILEGED EDUCATION

Just within reach of a soft whisper,
I swear I can hear the small voice,
Weeping, of an innocent boy, 
Held in limbo out of an ice-bound past,
As I stare at black and white photos,
Framed within a dust-covered album. 

The dispersing fog from sealed up years
Is swept away, as insidious grief 
Rolls out as a vast tsunami of
Memories, all set in stone.

I remember the dull uniform 
Of conformity in the fresh-cut faces 
Of newly-pressed recruits
To the collective madness
Of benighted generations.

As craven sheep within the exclusive fold,
They never break fraternal chains
Which bind them close to the smothering
Of elongated cradles where a 
Parent’s loving care holds no sway.

Emerging as lifelong, hardened victims
To catastrophic nightmares 
Where endless is their perfect failure
To be set free from the sharp embrace 
Of nanny’s tightened apron strings,
They are driven on to become
The finest crop of future leaders.

Privileged Cultures Afterthought

It feels fascinating
that horny voracious passions
dissipate in the presence of ego-centered fear
of pain and suffering
and ego-defeating loss,
disability and predative performance anxieties,
wounds,
death,
short-term through permanent
degenerating energy,
absence of active hope
for future holistic integrity.

In this time of climate degeneration
fear and cultural distancing need,
frustrated leftbrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale monoculturing horniness
looks culturally privileged like,
sounds prejudicially like,
feels and touches sacred EarthMother like,
smells and multiculturally
creole tastes like

Manic
predative redmeat energy states,
inflamed by unnatural sleep deprivation 
festering fear-and-anger inducing rabidity

Rather than restorative green regenerative justice
passion
for multicolored
trans-generational
testosterone/estrogen
yang/yin
pansexual win/win
inclusive cosmic integrity

Of cooperative green/blue energy
power
EarthPeace compassion

Not quite so red dominant
states of capitalistic
patriarchal egotistic narcissism
and anthropocentrism.

Privileged Pilgrim

All Powerful Provider present in all places 
Potentate presiding our prayers and praises
I'm a pilgrim privileged to be in Your presence 
Panting like a deer for Your pure precepts 
Profiting from Your priceless pearls of prudence 
Provisioned by Your proverbial pages of Scripture 
Preserved from pagan practices 
Predestined to be Your progeny
Placed in Your perfect plan 
Partaker of Your precious promises
Purified by Christ's pouring blood of persecution 
Preferred above praiseworthy people  
Performing priestly purposes 
Planted in the perennial picture of paradise 
Patiently preparing for Your Parousia

Under-Privileged

A privileged position of power
Should not give the powerful
The right to render others powerless

Privileged Service

Propped and upheld
Propelled while pushed…
…Privileged am I to
perform by faith midst Providence power
Prioritizing God and His kingdom-pursuits
Persevering patiently
Preparing, planning with prayer
Presenting myself as a living sacrifice*…
Peace-filled, pardon-assured
Pulled toward His will to be a blessing.

*Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Blessed Privileged Condition

Against guilt-chained condescension
Inflicted with iniquities’ oppression
My soul, hell-bound, thru sins’ aggression…
Was rescued by the Saviour with His compassion.

Granting me great redemption
Christ paid for my eternal salvation
Setting me free from awful damnation
Toward wondrous heaven’s destination.

Endowed now with life everlasting’s possession
Blessed to be guided by omniscient wisdom persuasion
I thank my God* for this marvelous privileged condition
To enjoy His sovereign, special, and very personal intervention.

*Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Privileged College

Elitist school hovering;
     Hummingbird-like wind laden migrating.
     Evening mess hall dining;
     Past the locked gate.

The Privileged One

Perhaps I am the privileged one
Perhaps the one who disqualified your vice is one like myself
For after all, if equality is truly to be achieved
We are to see the weaknesses and the strengths 
In the potential of all in harmony
Am I wrong?
Perhaps you are criminalized for your own sake
For you inhale to stifle; I swallow to expand
But buttresses are buttresses
Am I wrong?
I am the maximized self; you are yourself without reserve
My standing comes from those who chose your vice before me
But who am I to choose?
My vice is not condemning; my humanity no greater than yours
But any time a man is placed above his brother
That man’s flaws are revered
Not by human nature, but by condition
Perhaps that man was me
Guarding over you, my brother
Perhaps we can agree that he is all of us
Am I wrong?
Inhale; I swallow
Release; I regain
For the one who has known despair will choose a path of consciousness
Your awareness is my degradation
Am I wrong?
Should I apologize for my antecedent insult to your reliance?
In all insults are a hope for harmony
Can we live in harmony with our sins?

Privileged Pencil

Guided by the writer's hand
it skates across page after page,
in complete abandon, 
relishing the journey.

A short visit now and then 
to the cut of the blade,
its red-lacquered coat 
shredded to shavings.

Down to the nub, its eraser gone,
a last soft gasp,
a Frisbee fling into the trash.

Its life springs forth
each time a reader
walks through the pages.

Privileged

One fine day a cat so thin but heavy with a belly
Slowly creeps under my fencing wall.
I do not know where her dwelling was
Pebbles and water chases her away.
She runs out, again shows up 
I chase, she creeps
She creeps, I chase. Clash goes on and on

So eager to know
Her reasons to retrieve so soon,
Followed her like a ghost I’d sought.
I heard her purrs and cooing
Inside an old tire she has curled covering 
Six eyes tightly closed, Rosy chins searching warmth
Her pleading stare I couldn’t bare
“Will you let us stay? We are strayed” 

A year nearly passed the time so fast 
She strolls like a queen with three princes smart
Thus entered our kinship how marvelous!
Chosen her sanctuary so Wondrous 
Without any scare 
Demands the share my lap care
                                                 Manel G.
