Free

White Privileged

By Esoteric JPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

What’s there to say? What’s not to say? How do I say, “are you okay?” Without seeming privileged in some sort of way?

It seems I move on about my day after you say what you had to say

about the way

this country is ran

by a mad man with a hand the color of mine

Oh how that stains my mind

That I, me

The one who stands and would walk beside thee

Hear you call him and I

We

But maybe

we are we

Him and me

White and privilege

And free

The ones who will never know the price it cost to breathe

About the Creator

Esoteric J

Never going to figure this shit called life out. I’m sensitive but I can chew ice cream. I believe in magic and aliens. Rambling hoping that one day I’ll look back and realize my life was more interesting than I thought, or I was. Whatever.
