非法  

Adjective; not legal (illegal)

This word has altered an object that is intended to protect, into one that is associated with fear and vulnerability. Emphasizing the injustice of an alarming situation in people's consciousness.

Beware what you say or think, the government can manipulate anything you use into an illegal item. This is to oppress your voice, freedom, and rights. Unfortunately, this is my homeland now, where we continue to be forced to live in fear, hide our identity, talent, and voice. 

We may all be built the same but inside we are fighting, rebellious, defiant. 

So let me ask you this: 

Who is afraid?
