I don't know who YOUR "they" might be, but the "theys" are myriad, omnipresent, and as repressive (and annoying) now as they were in the Sinai, lo!! those ancient days ago.

But what's even more poignant is that almost all of us go to bed one night imagining ourselves are an *I*, or maybe one of an improved "we"
And wake up in the morning as a "they."
Poignant?
Nah... it's a heart breaker, a killer.
