segregation
Segregation is the act of shoving others into an invisible cage under the guise of protecting collective safety and order. It masquerades as both benevolence and oppression, its boundaries amplifying the faint echoes of dissent into distant whispers. The walls are crafted so subtly they escape notice, while serving as a mirror testing human dignity. Whenever society proclaims the need for security, it’s always someone else who pays the price.
