Ever sat and wondered what’s your goal in life? How are you going to achieve it? I have… i have looked at it, changed it a million times, but i always come to a dead end. Why? simply because i look at my goal and than i look at this country, and all i see is dead ends. I see people leaving, i see people suffering, i see people cursing, i see people having their dreams crushed, their life time work gone in a blink of an eye. I see fear in the eyes of so many, if not all. Fear that tomorrow, all they have achieved might be lost, fear that tomorrow a new war might ignite… fear of loosing their loved ones from immigration that sits in the minds of each and every one of us. What i see in this country is nothing but dreams lost and dead end jobs.

Have you seen the elders on the roads? or the kids that walk the streets begging for money or food that they can’t afford? Have you ever heard their stories? If not here’s one…
I once heard of an elderly that begs on the streets, not in search of money, but only asking for food to eat. That may not be new maybe… that’s what i thought at the beginning, but what if i tell you that this man used to have a lot of money, so much that he had never imagined himself begging and praying for his life, but things took a wrong turn, and look at him now.

You may now wonder what’s the whole point of such a story, and simply it goes like this. If we had a proper government, a proper health care system and most importantly a proper retirement plan, for all people with no exception! this man would have lived his last few days happy, maybe sitting in small warm retirement home, where he would have smiled and looked gracefully at what he has achieved in his life instead of having beenfound under a bridge dead from hunger and cold.

None of us will imagine him or her self in his shoes, neither did he!

Who would want to live in a country where you have to worry about your retirement so much that it takes every breath in you? Who wants to live in a country where politicians only care about themselves? about what position they take? or the amount of money in their bank accounts?
Why would anyone want to live in a country where people don’t even respect each other, where everyday, just by driving your soul is taken out of you because of accidents you might make due to the lack of organization?
We have no control we have no rules we have nothing. What we do have, is, corrupt police officers that, when called, ask you if it’s an emergency for them to come?!?!?!

That is a tiny example of what happens, if i want to go on, i can talk about, how, when the police catches a criminal, they let him go the next day because of bribery, or how about them not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle or going the wrong way?? (wait shouldn’t he be the one setting the greater example?) i guess not !!

Speaking of wrong ways, OUR WHOLE DAMM INFRASTRUCTURE IS TILTED UPSIDE DOWN!! This country’s a shit hole! and that’s not even harsh to say! We have bridges in the middle of highways! We have people dying everyday because of lack of safety on the roads! We have nothing, no proper drinking water, no proper shelters for people in need, no electricity, barely anything if you are of the poorest. Because here, we have to buy our own water we have to buy our own electricity, we don’t have any public sector, we do everything!

We don’t even have a Government!!!! and politicians instead of working together for the well being of the people, they fight over which gets what?!?  I DON’T CARE NEITHER DOES 3.5 MILLION OTHER LEBANESE WHO GETS ANYTHING IF IT IS RUNNED PROPERLY!! I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU WANT OR WHAT HE DID TO YOU OR WHAT YOUR ACCUSING HIM ABOUT! LOOK AT YOUR SELVES! YOUR SOULEST BODIES THAT HAVE NO WORRIES IN LIFE BECAUSE WELL YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!!

WE DON’T!

We plan each day like anything might happen! like there’s no tomorrow! why? Because some dumb politician might want to start a war tomorrow!!! Does he have the right to? HELL YEEEE!! who’s stopping him? NO ONE!! Why??? Because we can’t, because he has power, he has bitchin missiles!!!  Oh oh and whats funny??? They tell you when the threat goes, we give up our weapons!  What FUCKING THREAT???!!!! If you want trouble you get  trouble!! if you want peace you get peace!! But they want nothing!! They want FUCKING ENDLESS WARS that can never be solved! Not because they can’t be solved! Because they don’t want to!!! PEACE IS WHAT WE WANT! NOT WAR!!!! PEACE is the LANGUAGE to be spoken!! PEACE and nothing else!!! Because peace brings happiness!! WAR brings disasters!!

Finally to everyone that might curse me or disagree or whatever : I DON’T CARE what you think! I am not nor will ever be affiliated to any LEBANESE political party! You are all murders! you are all thieves and you will always be!  You all murdered this country! You brought it to its nease because of some cheap worthless money that you can gain!!

THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS BE A COUNTRY! THIS IS JUST SOME PLACE THAT PEOPLE THROW THEIR CRAP IN!

WE MIGHT ONLY SEE IT BECOMING A TRUE NATION IN OUR DREAMS! BUT EVEN THOSE NEVER WORK OUT!
