The Unfortunate Consequence of Privilege



Everyone,
Let us all take a moment to consider the plight
Of those suffering under the burden of wealth.
Consider their isolation from 99% of humanity
Producing in their offspring the sickness of entitlement
And the unfortunate consequence of privilege.
No one can argue the increased stress
The forced interment in exclusive private schools
Will later produce in subsequent
Higher echelon employment opportunities
Those of us of the lower classes
Will rarely experience,
Nor will we likely have to endure
The cross-cultural complications
Inherent in excessive travel.
Be thankful to fully imbibe in the realities of life,
An not, like the wealthy, be financially removed
From the character building qualities of want
And the many lessons privation has to teach.
