Cwncarn was my school when we got evacuated, like
everyone else we lived on campus. I was a good kid kept myself to myself and
never worried about politics. I figured that if a girl keeps her head down and
stays out of trouble she can live a long and happy life. Keep to the consensus
and everybody wins. This is the illusion of Democracy 2.0
I
remember the raindrop story. The one they tell school children about how it all
works. I can’t believe how easily I took it all in. How much I wanted to be the
good raindrop. The one that kept itself pure and clean all the way down to the
ocean…
That’s
not what they taught us. They taught us that we were special. That our profiles
shaped the world, and that we had to make sure we didn’t pollute the consensus.
They
left out the fact that ocean is salty because it’s mostly piss.
