Line 13:
Their screams and pleas for forgiveness haunt my dreams never to leave me so long as I live.
Every night, I look upon the landscape from my prison and remember the way it used to be so long
The denizens now know not of any other way anymore. Generation upon generation of slaves taught that their all powerful and loving ruler is benevolent and anybody who questions this is the purest form of evil. The smart ones never last very long, they get sent on a "quest for knowledge," far away from the rest.
Line 19:
I've seen it thousands of times, thousands of poor souls abandoned in the hot desert to die of dehydration or to be devoured by the many wild beasts in the wilderness. Around three days travel into the desert is where the bones begin to litter the landscape. Bleached white after years of baking in the unforgiving sun.
The trap is really quite ingenious. I must give credit where it is
Not a single soul has ever returned.
Line 27:
I must OPEN their eyes to the truth, even if it hurts to know they've been lied to for so long.
The funny thing about the truth, it never goes away
None of that matters anymore. The only thing that matters is tomorrow. Tomorrow I am FREE!
