INEVITABILITY

Authority (wearing a black cloak and holding a whiplash in his hands) roars in a high pitch: "I will break you, mere human... I will taste your blood by chaining you in every way possible. I will limit your wages, put burden on your shoulders that you can never carry... I will crush you under my weight. I will beat you with my club studded with caste, religion, race and colour. I will push you again and again into the mire and sewers where you will stink forever... Into the blackest black stinking water of poverty and pennilessness... "

The Commoner: "Aye, sir! So be it."

Authority: "I will rip you off everything that you hold dear. I will never give you anything that you desire. I will lead your family astray. I will break it into a thousand pieces. I will steal the very smile off your face and make you go numb from the core. I will rape your women... I will tie you to a tether and watch them burn in misery and helplessness. I will wash your face with their blood and tears."

The Commoner: "Aye, sir! So be it."

Authority: "I will leave you in the streets to rot in living hell. You will try hard to cry, but never will a drop of tear remain in your eyes to flow down and soothe you. And when I have completely, entirely broken you, I will drag you in the dirt under my feet and strip you off your clothes and your very own daily bread... I will cut your intestines and stomach..."

The Commoner: "You threaten me with my most basic animal instinct, sir... Know your limits..."

...And there, the inevitable started.
