are we not
subject to the law
through natural selection
and fang and claw

are we not
just beasts of the field
where might is right
and the weak shall yield

shouldn’t we be judged
through merit and credibility
instead of talent wasted
through the pipe dream equality

isn’t tribalism
being loyal to our near and dear
instead of acceptance
through guilt and fear

are we not
just looking to fuck
getting ours now
before we’re shit out of luck
