Poem: The White Male Dilemma by Stan Salett

The White Male Dilemma

He was here before the beginning
When he was easily winning
Women, gays and others of color,
Seldom entered his circle of power.
That was a time,
Has it all gone by?
Does he have to buy in?
Should he lie?
Where is his place,
In this new world he can see,
Every day of his life,
In the streets,
In the malls,
In the movies,
And on TV?
His time may be passing,
His status declines
His opponents are massing
He can see all the signs.
But he will not go away,
He says he’s here to stay.

He wants his country back!
