House of Helpers

They push you up against the wall and beat you to a pulp if you dare to snarl back. No protestations, no expressions of dissent allowed in this place. You either come around to thinking like them or you don't think at all. There are set rules and standards that cannot be compromised. You utter foolish and unnecessary words that further incriminate you in their eyes. But do they realise what pushes you to speak like that? To them words have always held more significance than thoughts, effect more import than cause. So, my friend, your indictment is complete. It is you who stands alone again and the decision is only yours to make. Or is it one more sacrifice? There is a gun in your hands but its barrels are empty. They have taken the bullets away. How arrogantly they demand solutions and how conveniently they make achieving those impossible!
