Awakened

You presume to own me

Taking my lack of aggression for consent

Foolishly assuming I am weak

But you have never been more wrong

I have studied you, your institutions

Where they are brittle, where they might break

Seeing through your illusion of strength

As you wield a power you do not deserve

And I am not alone

Your rulership is at our pleasure

A truth you seem to have forgotten

So step over that line if you dare

Because we are more than willing to remind you.
