Like-Minded

 
hesitancy in the elements is seen as a weakness  
I am contemplating, simply  
 
to buckle under the weight of all of you...sometimes i do  
just to get back on my feet  
because my morals leave me no other option  
to lay down and die, isn't part of my makeup  
so my enemies can stomp on my still form  
it won't happen  
 
fighting for human rights no matter how insignificant, is what I do  
waiting for backup, from the like-minded, I sometimes feel helpless  
being rat packed and manipulated hurts me  
humanity is seen by some as a commodity or crop  
their feelings are harvested cruelly  
when a subtle touch is all that is needed for the vampires to feed  
 
their pain cultivated with their sorrow  
the human soul...is fragile  
it will fracture and become barren  
 
you think me odd or different  
because I've chosen in my youth to remain silent  
I identify with humanity on a lot of levels  
and think they deserve rights  
 
I've observed great emotion and honor among them  
to build the tower just to knock it down again is vicious  
makes me think of a technological bully  
 
I am aware of the hierarchal rules and I follow them  
still, there is no need for cruelty  
if that is what it takes to impress your mate  
perhaps you lack the refinement of a subtle touch  
 
I will not force a mind to understand or rape it  
underestimating me would be foolhardy  
I am aware and awake  
 
I know the chain of command  
back out, or you'll feel me
