Protected in Power
Affection is your “love language,”
But you hold zero regard for discomfort.
Care and love you preach.
Do you know such a meaning?
Everything is about you,
For you,
Good for you.
Happy and content you smile.
Ignoring those who don’t have fangs to bare.
Joking and laughing at what you did.
Killing flowers in gardens of prosperity.
Love is pure, yet yours is tainted. Your
Mouth spitting lies and kissing away innocence.
“No” is not in your vocabulary.
Of course, it isn’t.
Picking and choosing who is worthy of your attention.
Questioning morals is not something you do.
Reality is not something you face.
Sheltered from punishment as you sit on your pedestal
Trimming and molding candidates
Under the pretense of your “love language.”
Virtuous is what they call you…
Why can’t they see? E-
Xcept for me, they are all blind.
You are not affectionate. You are a
Zealous predator.

This is an Alpha poem I wrote also for my creative writing class. I was inspired by those who are in positions of power but abuse their power to get what they want. The victim is not always believed, so I wanted to do it from the perspective of someone who knows what is going on and refuses to sit idly by. I want people to feel uncomfortable when they read my poem because so many victims don't get the choice to be comfortable.
