guilt
equates to defensive acts
used to mask the privilege
that maintains ignorance.
But guilt
Is counterproductive
If only we’d listen
And question
Meritocratic structures
That allow the guilty
To maintain ignorance
And equate it to equity
And deny that it’s privilege.
It is time to start listening
It is past time to listen
We should feel guilty
But we should use this productively
And affect change
By becoming educated and listening.
