They do not know how strong we've become!
Our resilience built through ancestors they sent running, crawling, chasing them down...As if hunting, their favourite game!
Is it strange that this is a pass time most enjoyed?
Wonder what evil drives such hatred? What vile thoughts and feelings conspired centuries passed and still rife to this day, to shatter millions of lives and dreams and everything else now perceived as never to be!
Yet... no single valid explanation other than an innate, vicious barbarism they cannot shake!
Perhaps a generational curse?
In which case, oh the shame, they're the ones to be tamed.
Their captivity, more devastating - the ones they most fear to gain are the ones most likely to cut their chains!
They don't know how strong we've become!
