Just like we have everything,
We could have had nothing.
No natural law prescribes
Hot water in the tub,
Apples in the pantry,
Body cream and lotion.
We, the βeta people
We, the βeta People

The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
We , the βeta people
Are the ones for whom
Morality
Religion
Loyalty
Were created
Manipulated
Upheld
To keep us in our place…
By those for whom they are but
Empty jibberish…
But we embraced them
Cherished them
Made them our own.
How would wars have been fought
If it wasn’t for our loyalty?
How would the temples, cathedrals, been built,
The fields plowed,
The children brought up,
If it wasn’t for our
dedication?
Perseverance?
Faith?
And would families have survived
If we did not acquiesce
Submit
Flex
Deny
Bend over
Surrender
Love
Forgive
Try to understand?
But by now
A veil had been lifted from over our eyes.
We see the α-lphas for what they are,
For who they are,
For what they stand for,
And for everything they are not.
We see them carrying the world to the brink
On our backs
Through our compliance
And we start –
Whispering
Talking out loud
Roaring
Our Voice,
Our resistance
No More!!!
