Just So

Contrarily and wholly explicably
the meek are not in the process of
inheriting the Earth, nor do their
future prospects look encouraging
should they anticipate, on the highest
stated moral and theological authority
that they must, should, or will.  Not
now, not soon, not ever.  They are
those who defer, who deny entitlements,
demur to praise themselves, apologize
profusely if they are held to blame,
and silently endure.  They will
observe, as always, uncomplainingly
as the self-entitled loud-mouthed boors
and bullies of the world rape its bounty.
