I wait for Karma

Why am I told repeatedly

To just bow down to authority

To accept and step out of the way

Of those in power, to never have a say

I am told by everyone I cannot fight

The ones in power, I must assume they are right

Any retaliation is absolutely futile

Trying to oppose them is not worthwhile

Neither those in power nor the decisions they take

Would change, my spirit is the only thing that would break

*

When someone above me does something not quite right and I remain silent

I become guilty by association, my true opinion is not evident

To anyone else- being lower in the order of hierarchy

I may get blamed for something that was not even supported by me..

*

To oppose someone in power is never easy

It can backfire, come back to bite me

Therefore my sense of righteousness I forego

Forget about everything and try to lie low

I distance myself from the situation, I do not fight

I wait for Karma to set the world order right
