To be born a male in a patriarchal society
is to be half the way up the top of the tree
well before you start trying to climb higher.
And when, further, that patriarchy believes
is predestined by gender in its superiority, then Whoah.
Who will measure the grace of fortune you live in?
Rest assured that those who have far, far, less
but are numerate, if not literate, will measure
the wealth the ultra wealthy luxuriate in,
both as a guide to what they have not got
and for the ignorant to measure their 'love of money',
money that they are never going to get, by.
