Right-On

I have a right

it’s said time over, but

who confers that right, 

so eagerly professed, 

lauded freely, loud

foreign boat people

people of colour

l.b.g.t.q.i.a.p

the imprisoned

homeless, our children

dogs and cats 

are rights bought

sold or earned

does someone’s right

wrong another’s right

who’s right?

surely I have right to know
