In this modern day, we have one thing to say, "Don't mess up." Everyone must be perfect, beautiful, healthy, and happy. There must be no faults or you will be casted out as a defect. You will be called The One. They will kill The One at all costs.
We are now The One.
In this modern day, war reigns over our heads like how the moon rules our oceans. Our society, our community, our people, we are animals. It doesn't matter how much blood is shed until we win at this "game" we all play.
Until the next morning, we all go on with our days. We work, eat, sleep, go to school, etc.; but, what about the other people? What about The One? That is the story we will share about. The story of how we came together and how we have survived this treacherous nation. We will now use our voice so that we may be heard.
It all started 112 years ago. We were once part of a group. We had 5 groups: the Blacks, Browns, Yellows, Reds, and the all-mighty Whites. We lived in harmony until one day when the Whites attacked. We have now conformed to the way of the Whites. White society tries their hardest to be simple, but they always make everything into a competition. Not for fun and games, but for the big prize. Money.
Fast forward to today. We walk the streets like nothing is going on. We mind our own business but we aren't aware of what's going on around us. Our attention is too focused on our bright screens. Looking down not knowing what the sky may look like in the current moment. From social media to funny videos, we never turn away from them. That is how They started to control us. We say "They" because saying their name is like breaking a mirror. It's just bad voodoo; however, if you must know, their name is the Government.
The Government is a group of people who love to bathe in wealth and power, even more so, in corruption. They strive to rule above all and there is no price high enough that they can't pay. There is no end to them.
Now here we are. Alone. Hiding. Why? For we have become part of the group that They want to capture. We are now The One. We have yet to tell the story of whom The One are and how we have come to be part of them. To tell this story, let us begin from when it all started.
