Stop. No. Don't humanize them.
These are the beings you have lived in fear of all your life.
But worse.
This is the hatred you have been sliced and grated on all your life.
But deeper.
Monsters, monsterous. Ignorant. Apathetic. Blind.
They don't know they don't know they don't know of what you've seen. Nor do they want to. Nor would they believe you.
And when they spew their vile hatred no longer are they met with disdain.
They are cheered on.
Power hungry. Hungry for your blind obedience. Your hands. Your toil. Your silence.
So much silence and so much distance like you are an insect trapped beneath glass walls.
But they are hungry for more than obedience now. They are hungry for your admiration. For your adoration.
You have lived your life in literal starvation and in omnipresent fear. Why stop now? Now that the danger goes deeper, deeper, longer, greater than you could ever imagine?
You don't mind for your own sake. You know you deserve nothing more than to die choking.
You mind for all the poor people. The parents torn from their children. The children torn from their parents. The workers who will not see power ever.
Power. You don't have the power to feed your people. You don't have the power to give them water. You don't have the power to protect the children. You will live your whole life without power.
But you know that the prophecies are on your side. The last shall be first. The first shall be last. The hungry will feast. The well-fed will starve. The sick will be healed, the healthy will grow ill. The powerless will have power. The thirsty will have clean, pure water.
Glory to the newborn King.
