on the concept of “they”

if you try to run from responsibility
by asking who “they” are when someone
asserts obvious oppression, exploitation &
wrongdoing being committed by you & your
friends, then you, my friend are
“they”---
and, yes, you can pretend all that you want
that you won’t be found out & that history will
paint you the winner as it always seems to,
but there is a subtle underlying whisper of which
you have no control over
of which you cannot simply try to destroy with all of the bombs in your
arsenal or
with all of the money in your coffers---
this is the voice of those that understand that as long as there is one
person screaming,
not all are pleased with what is going on,
and as long as there is one person imprisoned,
not all are pleased with what is going on,
and as long as there are those with much much more than those who have
much much less,
not all are pleased with what is going on.

your best recourse is to reevaluate what is going on.
