Painful irony

None of us ever dared question the use of The Tower. All we knew was that Our Father never left it. Not one window allowed us to take a glimpse inside, as they were all tinted. People couldn't look inside, but from there, They could watch the people. This was the story of Our Nation.

When I think about it now, I realize that we didn't know much about that so-called "nation". Was it as vast as They said? Or were we only a hundred trapped in Their hands? All I know is that if I had gone to Our market earlier that day, I would've died as an ignorant slave. Because this is what we all were: slaves. We worked day and night for Them. For Him.

Since our childhood, we were taught that They were a sympathetic, generous government, and that He was like a father to us, kind, and loving. How ironic.
