A dystopic vision

I saw today how they treated the blue people. Without an arrest or search warrent, they entered their homes, the police beat up their family and created a mess out of their houses.

We were told to be careful of the blue people- you'll never know when they can strike. History had too many accounts of certain blue people trying to sabotage and cause havoc in the cities. Now, we learn in schools never to mix with them. Blue people were manipulative, calculating and had no sense of loyalty to their country. They must at all times, be under severe scrutiny.

The blue people were given minimal rights. They couldnt vote, couldnt be a part of the government, couldnt hold high rankings in the army and their pays were made such that they were below the average population.

There used to be a protest once. They called that day, 'the red monday'. The police and army was activated to 'eradicate' them. What began as a peaceful protest, ended with too much bloodshed. All the blue people wanted to say was, 'We need more food.'

Are they really all that different? We used to get along- the same jobs, the same houses. Now, the blue people were confined to one small area. Their population was monitored: each household was only entitled to having one child. No schools, only hard labour.

We always asked why. They convinced us that the blue people were a dangerous people. The blue people used to be learned, successful, vibrant. However, they used all those to create anarchy in countries. Because of them, mindless wars were fought and too many lives were wasted on their account. They said, it is only for the best. The only way we can experience our peace is if these people were 'put away'.

How they put the blue people away was very systematic. First, they gathered all the blue people at what they call 'the blue square'. Many blue people assembled. Then, they gathered all those who were learned: had the education of 5th grade and above. They told these blue people there was a ship waiting for them. I do not know if it is true. All i know, is that no one has heard of them since. Those who were left behind, were asked to return all possessions to the state. The state was to re-issue a new form of currency-the 'blue note'. Whoever was found with a firearm, or knife, or any instrument able to cause grevious harm, was instantly shot. That day, about twenty people perished for not surrendering some household items.

When i was young i used to think it was cruel. Now i do not think so. i have stopped feeling sorry for the blue people. Today, a stray dog is no different from a blue person. We laugh at them, we vent our frustrations at them and we create cruel jokes to spite them. I talked to a blue person once. His name was Tommy. For a moment there, i actually found him nice. Moments later, he was just another blue person.

It is not just us. Everyone hates the blue people. They said they believe in the wrong things, they said the blue people were inherently evil. They said it wasnt the fault of a handful of blue people, it was the 'blue' that make it all wrong. When you were blue, you learned wrong things, you made the wrong friends, you became the wrong person.

Neither do i need to. What is presented here, is the negative utopia of what the world may turn out to be. WW2's Hitler and his idiosyncratic Holocaust was my rough guide for this vision. Then, there's Rwanda...there's Egypt and its anti gay movements. I merely extrapolated it to a modern day context.

Sad? Morose.
