Daddy’s Man

Rogue Stone on his way to court (Victoria Pickering, Flickr).

Untouched & Untouchable by your ancestral gore
the everlasting nuclear biblical folklore

Never fulfilled a worthy oath
Never felt the pain of growth
Never tasted either, nor both

Your social mobility & wealth increase
paid for by stolen blood & lamb grease

Your blind privilege a white Gucci guise
clamped around your snake eyes

Your daddy bred you half-witted, entitled & at ease
to believe a white skin, small prick & a prayer on Christmas eve
is enough to be a man, a white man, a daddy’s masterpiece

Wanna lace a working artist’s palm? Just clap.
