White is the new bad
they tell me.
We now know that white
in many forms saps us
of who we were created to be —
white flour, white sugar,
white potatoes and by far
the biggest, baddest sapper
of who we need to be —
white privilege that would be,
we only need to see
and so flee
from that which depletes
the body, mind and spirit
of all we are intended to be.
A little goes a long way
they say.
Some say you must stay away,
but others say a little bit
of whiteness may be a-okay —
flour, sugar, and potatoes and
even plain old salt
but all white privilege must be
rejected and from it abstained
because it is at fault
of weakening the body
and depleting nutrients of
the whole human race
and filling it with fear
and hate unchained
and thus the human race
remains horribly stained.
So, dieters, stand tall
declaring once and for all
that white privilege is
a thing of the past
and get on board the
rainbow gravy train
‘cause it is movin’ down
the healthy, wholesome,
happy track of life
ever so fast.
