Summary:

basically a bunch of random poems/writing pieces I have written. there will be some violent stuff so I put the graphic descriptions of violence just in case, I'll also put triggers in the notes on top of the chapters

Notes:

Hi! thank you so so much for clicking on this! I hope you enjoy the ramblings of my overtired brain <3

this was for a school project I did a while back using vocabulary words (everyone passed)
tw: government oppression, implied homophobia
(this isnt really mentioned but I remember writing this in the way that its government vs everything "different" yk?)

anyways I promise these will get better, but I'm having to go through so many old journals and word documents and I just felt like dumping them on here, so.... here you go! some nice old corruption and revolution!

Chapter 1: Viva la Revolution

Chapter Text

People began to boycott places that were funded by the president after The Burning of 2031.

The government began damage control, and offered a compromise to those who were angry

Most people were forced to calm, due to revolution being a new frontier

But not all, as people found out when others began to speak their grievances

Those who supported the government were nicknamed "The Loyalists" after those who supported the British king and suffocated the ones who wanted freedom in colonial times

The Loyalists did not support all natural rights, acting like it was their job was telling those who to love and forgive

The pamphlets they gave out taught us that you should be yourself only if you blend in, and to forgive those who left permanent scars

Those who were against the system were called "The Patriots", fighting for freedom just like their forefathers

In response to this, the government passed a new law restricting how people could think, the preamble explaining that it "was for their own good", treating the citizens like children out of line and showing just what the government was willing to do

The law was repealed after many people protested it

The Patriots’ slogan was ignis cordis eos qui eum capere conantur uri, meaning the fire of the heart burns those who try to capture it

After the law was passed, the subjects began to rebel against their unjust rulers

The government claimed they were committing treason to a country that had done them no wrong, spinning lies and hoping others would come to help

The "others" began to realize that the system was based on tyranny, so those who were supposed to help the president helped the rebels and won

The rebels made sure that the right to love and the right to your own body would be unalienable in this new country of real freedom, truly living the American dream.
