It’s a privilege, a poem

A poem published By ManicWorld Magazine (May 2025), It’s a privilege was my rumination on life in Australia as a woman. I never take for granted how lucky we are here. The privilege we hold in this country is like no other.

But still in a patriarchal system there will always be much to navigate and I cannot ignore how our First Nations people are treated, as I believe this land was never ceded.

So this poem is both a reflection of my love for Australia but also my misgivings.

Thank you ManicWorld Magazine for platforming this poet, and please enjoy my poem. Much love.
