• privilege

    (inspired by the 2007 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony)

    it is a privilege to sit at that table
    to smile, sip the champagne,
    and lean over to joke with others
    it is an awesome power
    to shape how we think

    it is not fame we seek
    but the right to relax
    to kick back and change the world

    upperclass? i think not.
    such humble platitudes fall far short
    we are world changers,
    evangelists of thought and culture
    models of who you wish to be.
