Say no

[ZenitYerkes]

A word. Simple, two letters. A consonant and a vowel.

No.

No, I don't want to be a number in your census. I don't want to live in a block, between four walls. I don't want to live for you, instead of living for myself. I don't want your money, neither your progress.

I know what I need. Keep your stuff off my way.

No, I don't need people to think for me, to think for us. I don't need to pay taxes for something that is already mine within my rights. I don't need to know your books, your inventions, your past.

I want my present back.

And no. Of course I don't need you. Get off my sight.

Forever.
