hegemony

Here
I will tell you the truth
the things I hold back

I long for the time
when I don't owe anything
when the powers that be have no hold over me

but here
in this space
let me tell you the truth

you are incompetent
you don't even know how to try
you think you were born better than

everyone must beg
and scrape and bow
you get to say who gets the crumbs

you are cruel

and bit by bit
one day
this too shall pass

in the meantime
in my heart
I say
F-U
