The Word Bogan

It is such a put down word 'Bogan' Aussie and Kiwi slang used to demonize
Poorly educated people from poorer suburbs seen as inferior in the self conceited eyes
If somebody refers to you as a Bogan at such a reference you should take offense
As they are dismissing you as uncultured and in the ways of the World quite dense
I really don't like the word Bogan as it is used for to put others down
A word never used in reference to those of the top end of the town
Our societies are built around rank and class distinction and for each of us a pigeon hole
Though our circumstances in life often can be something that's beyond our control
It is easy for to be judgemental though the judgemental in their own ways so small
Judge not and thou shalt not be judged those words should apply to us all
The word Bogan is a put down word and not complimentary in any way
Such a word is used to demean people and that does seem a sad thing to say
But our mortality makes us all equals since we are all born to die
That is a fact of our existence and as we know facts never lie.
