Manifactured Subservience

appeasing waves
of unreasonable 
requests dumped 
upon the shoulders 
of the unsuspecting
victim 
creating an 
atmosphere
of subordinance  
to the irrationality
surrounding each
encounter which 
always seemed 
to required an 
amount of 
subservience   
towards 
unwarranted
maltreatment  
manifactured a 
continued state
of obedience
