May, 1968.
While the streets were filled with anarchy and utter chaos with nadsats running haywire, with sticks and stones like a frenzy mob, I stood calmly at the crossroads. I would consider myself as a foolish little being, if I would've hopped onto that bandwagon. But my brothers, you see I am a bit different.
My thoughts are like constellations running at the speed of light. My ideas are considered weird, and my existence, the weirdest. But my brothers, I pay no attention to the words of the world.
So I walk down the road, with a haversack on my back. It contains my precious. Now my brothers, you would expect fine belongings, but sadly my haversack only contains cans, spray paint cans to be precise.
I arrive at this desolated sector, nothing much except huge white walls. Most of them chipped and cracked. But my brothers, I tell you it was the finest canvas my sight could ever behold. I spent the next few hours by myself, with the white wall and the black paint.
I drew two human figures. A tall and hefty silhouette of a man with a long pointy nose covering the mouth of a puny little teenager. Now my brothers, you wonder what it represents. You see earlier I'd introduced you to the frenzy mob, the mob my brothers are the youth, fiery and rebellious, filled with a desire for a revolution. A revolution for the liberation of arts, music and literature. You see I'm just another nadsat, an ardent lover of arts, music and literature and I too, like the others, am against this atrocity inflicted on us. But unlike my other droogs, I chose a different medium to express my resentment.
Beside the two human figures, I scribbled the following-
"
Sois Jeune Et Tais Toi".
It's a revolution my brothers, not like the other famous revolutions that occurred in France, but this definitely is one of it's kind.
Welcome To The Revolution, My Brothers.
[ This write-up was a part of my English class answering the topic " I Am...". I found the 1968 revolution very interesting and would've loved to be a part of it. Also, references to words from A Clockwork Orange (An amazing, amazing, amazing book)
