The Unspoken

In all those times you've spoken to me, you've never once said it.

Not that it matters. After all, your fingers have shown me.

They snap and the world ignites for you. At your whim alone rubble is birthed and flames conquer us all.

Recent events have proved to me your true cleverness. By your own words you played the fool. But your fingers have revealed the truth. With them you have proclaimed your hold over me.

"Forever," your fingers whisper smugly. With each snap, with each new cowed member of the State gained to you by those fingers, your ownership cements itself.

They whisper, "Forever..."

And I nod.
