What's on my mind?

We are slowly getting used

to living in a world

that held sway

on minds for decades of futility.

Yet we survive, we eat, drink, go to sleep,

wake up in the morning to resume the day.

Once in a while, we complain,

only to be told politely,

"Power is everything and you have none"

We swallow the tutelage

because it is administered politely.
