A Place to Fit

A Place to Fit

i wonder sometimes
what do i mean
the right leaning
see my,
whiteness and privilege
and,
want to invite me in
but they are madness
with nowhere to begin


the left
look at me and,
see my,
whiteness and privilege
and,
say no thanks
your colour and gender
cannot deposit with our banks

i am liberal by chance
the right is about blame
and targeting
i know enough,
to know my own mistakes

the left,
is busy solving the world
trying,
to do its best
i do wonder sometimes
if it can pass its own test
and I wonder sometimes,
what do i actually mean
