STORY STARTER
Write a story about a world in which you have to be granted permission to feel an emotion. What happens when your main character disobeys this rule?
As ONE
Frustration
Indignation
Infatuation
Love.
These words are now forbidden.
Depression
Obsession
Over-expression
Faith.
These mind sets are now banned.
Anxiety
Piety
Spontaneity
Hope.
These inner states are now suppressed.
Next generation
Will only action
Through reason
Or in prison
They will be put.
Robotic minds
In humankinds
Will seek permission
If there’s suspicion
Of human feel’.
Remember her, the girl that used to write
Sweet poems about love and light?
The flame inside burned her to core,
Now she’s not writing anymore.
So, in her memory, we made The Laws
So rational and without flaws
Rules against feelings for the humankind
To live in peace as ONE robotic mind.
A zombie world, equal, abstract and blind.
Congratulations! We’re all dead inside!
