"There wasn't the political will to tamper with a political system that benefited many"

The global powers of the 20th century fought all up and down this country, and I'm just sad. The people turned on each other as power switched hands so many times, only to stay divided. Ransacked again and again, a national identity built by generational robbery. Makes me think that change-agents are the only "heros", that to breathe the status-quo is to justify present oppression rooted in historical savagery.
