From A, to B.
You were not supposed to come here.
If You are not yet here, turn back.
If You are here already, go away.
If You are on your way, turn around.
This land is a destroyer, of hopes, innocence and honesty.
Here is a people who bare their teeth hopelessly in caricatures of grins, in the face of adversity; who watch their ideals slip away in quiet resignation, and laugh. Who have lost their ways and mired themselves in meaningless, degrading self-indulgences for a brief moment's happiness. Who have fought for so long they have forgotten against whom, or for what they fight. Here is a land so cold and barren that humour is not a nicety, but a last bleak stand.
Here is a land that destroys significances and relationships; if You have come here with a loved one, leave for both your sakes.
Here is a land where people wait forlornly for the rain to stop and the clouds to part, if only for a while. You should have stayed where it was easy to remain happy, where clouds live in lonely isolation rather than in giant conglomerations. Where the sun shines on a people genuinely enjoying their lives.
If You read only this, see this :
Here be dragons.
