the mighty have ways to make you talk
to make you say the right things
though their thoughts are not well pronounced
and have never been slight or casual
they protest with an attitude
both egregious and boisterous
and the mighty
they have ways to make you walk
to make you sash shay in just the right way
you may not want to amble like such
but there isn't much of choice
and how we have fallen sick with envy
to be the ones to call the shots
to be more than the told to
but to be the tellers of all
but instead
we hide
we cower
we adore their structure and boundaries
how they make us so much like everyone
how that has been our life long goal
to be just like our neighbor.
