The
war
turned
the
Tables.
People don't
Go through life with the mindset
of creating war.
Look at the flame
in the midst of it all.
It burns on hate,
prejudice,
pride,
and the feeling of being ignored.
Prejudice
leads to discrimination
and hate.
Add that to the mix
of rising tension
and people feeling that
their world is being changed
by those who have not been a part of for as long
as themselves,
and the pressure they are put under.
This flame ignites the fire.
Is it a revolution?
Is it standing up for your own rights?
Is it changing the political
and social climate
to something that you believe in?
You need to know,
That depending on which side
the flame burns
most brightly on.
Which side is
"good" or "evil".
And most importantly which side wins.
Your "revolution" as such
Will be judged and called different names.
When you look
where the flame was first ignited
it tends to be in one place.
And it spreads
through the circles
and seeps
into peoples lives.
The place's reputation
gets tarnished
when they are on the "evil" side.
The peoples names,
families and friends
get shamed for somehow
being related.
You seem to forget that
not all meant harm.
You seem to forget
that some had no choice,
That they were just
trying to
protect
the ones they love.
After all,
how far would you go
to keep safe
the people you love?
You seem to forget
that not all of them
had an active role,
just didn't speak out.
You seem to forget
that people just did
what is easy not what was
the ethically and morally
right thing to do.
You seem to forget
that some of your own
were just the same.
You forget that
We
are
not a
all
bad.
That's us.
Those part of the once significant
Sacred twenty- eight.
But most of all
The Slytherins.
We are known for being
the cunning and ambitious ones.
People often forget
That we are also
resourceful and creative.
Times have changed
And so do we
The tables have turned.
We face hardship unlike others whilst at home.
We have no opportunities.
We are subject to ridicule.
We are mocked and whispered at.
We are the targets for others to practice hexes on.
We get marked down.
We get the blame pinned on us for everything.
Our opinions do not count.
We have been refused help.
In other words we are discriminated against.
Because of which house we belong to.
And more importantly
what our names are
and
what our parents did.
I will tell you now,
that either our parents views
have changed
or we are kept religiously
away from them.
With the odd exception
of one or two-
but still they hold different beliefs.
I will tell you again
We
are
not
our
parents.
