Everyone claims some sort of minority,
But are we right to assume all minorities alike?
Whether our minorities are major or minor,
No one person is made up of either.
A man with a mole, for instance,
Claims his gender as majority
And his mole-having as minority.
A baby with a light complexion
Could fear her pink blanket,
But at least there is white skin underneath.
So do we fairly compare a mole-having minority
To a gender minority?
To a race minority?
To an ability minority?
Like a rich white man in a rich white house
Who tries to understand (or doesn’t)
The struggles of an immigrant family,
We are quick to relate our moles
To the pain of our neighbors.
