Where has beauty gone?
If you walk around, you will realise how ugly we have become.
Nothing is beautiful anymore. Even our Nile.
If you go an sit by the Nile, in a sunny day for coffee, you will get annoyed by the amount of litter thrown in it, the dirty color of its water, and the ugly little boats cruising in it with the worst of Egyptian music.
So here we are, turning into an ugly country. Full of black air and fumes, microbuses, people dressed in many unmatching colors, girls wearing veils as a social habit not as a religious obligation, men haressing all sorts of women even ugly ones, and the list continues.
Welcome to my ugly society, where houses are all furnished in golden seats and burgundy walls. Welcome to a society with gays, lesbians, husbands exchanging wives, child abuse, inscest and prostitution.
Everyday it becomes intolerable to be part of it. It is even more painful coz you have to keep quite and just go with the flow. The worst part if you want to work on fixing it, because you usually experience a severe case of depression, because there is nothing to do about it. And you just realise that after all the studying and the work you have done, still nothing helps. It is not worth it anymore. And you resort to leaving the whole country and finding yourself some other place more decent. You start belonging there. And even when you long to come back home, you realise that it is not home anymore. Even memories are not enough to make you forgive the other heartbreaking things going on in this country.
For the first time in my entire life I feel like I want to leave this all behind and find a more decent place to live in.
