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
Passion...unbridled 
It is the truth that sometimes (many times?) it is either guilt by association or face the backlash. And to the people who say, “That should not be a hard decision” I say, “Walk in my shoes and get back to me.” Good post.
