little thing that came to my mind

I dont know what I hate more.

the gray concrete walls.
or the ones with propaganda on them.

---

look its not secret that this town has gone to shit.

another border incident happened this week.
truck crashed right into the gate.

its not like the town was hunky dory before they showed up.
but it just keeps on getting worse.

at first it was the command center constructed in the gymnasium.
then the walls.
then turrets started appearing everywhere.

next thing you know the drafts start.
the sound of gunfire from the range echoes across the city.
the lights of search lights drown the night sky.

even the stars abandoned us.

and all of this is supposed to be for out benefit.

"the trygas are coming" they say.
even if they are, this is no way to live.

I prefer to die under the light of the stars than to live under the floodlight.

I just got my draft today.
they wont find me here tomorrow.

ill be under the stars in the brutal winter.
outside the walls.
