They walk among us
All the time
White, Male, Middle-class
Oozing privilege
Along with other sleazy emissions
And omissions from reports
Or safeguarding searches
Only petty criminals after all
Didn’t hurt anyone
Did they?
Just a bit of kiddy porn
Just initials on an organ
Good men after all
Pillars of the community
Saving lives
Leading choirs
Victimless crimes
Slapped wrists, a fine, community ‘time’
Get over it you say
They didn’t actually hurt anyone
Did they
With their white male middle class ways?
Privilege by Polly Ernest is about abusive yet ‘respectable’ men.
