It started with small things they took away. And nobody realised what it would lead to. They talked it down. Provided ‚good reasons‘. Deflected any criticism. When we protested, we were to blame because we did care about those little things instead of urgent topics.

And they got more gutsy every day and soon nothing was like before. When we used to dance on the fields late summer - we now no more. When we used to leave our homes to visit our friends - we now no more. And summer turned to autumn and autumn to winter, they took it all. They took our freedom.
