Seal fin de siecle with unheard celebration

Seal fin de siècle with unheard celebration though two thousand nine hundred will be here in seventy five years, a mere blink of the eye never to early to think about fêted occasion which marks the beginning of the 22nd century. if not yourself (dear reader) than think about generations to come (thus far without an appellation), who will point to old faded photographs exclaim, and chuckle while ribbing the person next to them - possibly their living social kith and kin, which relationships, where said freeze frame portrays folks staring and smiling back at a time when MAGA imposed a heavy hand (think iron maiden ruled), the constitution and declaration of independence long since made a mockery on what used to be inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness essentially giving rise to an underground, where scions of musky Trump's heirs ruled the United States of America ever since by bigfooted diktats, fiats, et cetera. byzantine cradle to grave strictures (courtesy the invisible hand of big brother and sister) mandated every citizen except the one percent quadrillionaires to pay obeisance with blood and a pound of flesh if necessary come hell or high water; should one get hashtagged as catchall term insubordinate, which loosely translated meant a subject defied, whether accidentally or purposely some arbitrary obscure law (envision if you will - the judge's gavel as if on cue comes down hard and fast with a guilty verdict), cuz even the least serious violation warranted harshest sentence matter of fact any and all infractions the dictator conveniently considered punishable misdeeds as capital offense, meant an automatic decree of death, and should the unfortunate soul find him/herself at the receiving end of harsh punishment, (which can be guaranteed without fail), he/she owned sole freedom to choose their demise; essentially government controlled every breath one took from conception to death until that final exhalation, which expiration of subject decreed by coroner named B. Aaron number xyz. right into the slammer one went if out the mouth one gave cheek long haired pencil necked geek being unduly submissive and meek considered an advantage under regime(s) that promised to be brutal, nasty and short forcing doubting thomas to hobble along after receiving a whack, and unsavory tweet and tweak about the nose or ears. thus genetic engineers bred docile traits passive as a human being part and parcel of the grateful dead, nevertheless an occasional chromosomal quirk transmitted emboldened individual, whereat he/she fled, yet authorities eventually found miscreant and gave him/her unforgettable pistol whipping over their head essentially wreaking vengeance renting asunder comfortably numb noggin rendering freshly minted jughead, whereat moments before once brilliant brainiac lost considerable intelligence quotient points no smarter than a block of lead.
