98 of 366: Check your privilege

A hungry stomach could never understand
why such intricacies need be at hand
call a hungry person insane or undisciplined
be in their shoes for a week and speak the same
struggle indoors for them is not 
a matter of what activity should they do
it talks a matter of survival
as staying indoors could kill them slowly
it's easy to antagonize
people breaking the rules
but they won't be breaking anything
if they had everything to begin with
to call them savages is exaggerating
as crisis or not they struggle to survive
call them delinquents for opposing the law
from the comfort of your homes
with your fridge full and doors shut
tell them to stay indoors 
then try to see the world beyond
what your privileges provided
you'll see how stupid you can be
when privilege has you blinded
