Invisible Courts of Esteem
Whiteness
maleness
and comfort
in my own skin.
Buys
undeserved
privilege.
In invisible
courts
of esteem.
Weighed
and found
to be more
than I am.
More than
others
deemed less
than.
Owing to
undeserved
debts.
Born of
undeserved
circumstances.
In invisible
courts
of esteem.
Where privileges
and penalties
capriciously given
create injustice for all.
