Watch me 328

I thought it was smart to choose the lesser of two perceived evils. I thought I’d be rewarded for allocating myself with the obvious victor; I was naive enough to assume I might one day be offered immunity by a tyrannical regiment. I took shelter in the arms of an open enemy, Doing their bidding, even as they starve and tortured my family – even as I slowly stripped their own people of humanity in the name of security. Cruelty rebranded as freedom, torture, rebranded as justice, horrors exported to perpetuate horrors all in the interest of absolute control. An oblivious populace living in the palm of an all– powerful hand, easily crushed.
