The Train

the train crashed and people died.
once again corruption never fails to scream help in its diverse ways.
what more do they need up there to see malfunction?
the boats sunk before, the trains crashed before and people get fired up every time, they let our flaming fires rise and the media is expressive and in no time something else happens that distracts and again it is forgotten. the prices of the dead are decided and some cash goes to the grieving families, and that is it.
Some passionate Amr Adeeb talk that settles some anger, some radical red articles in Masr El Yom, and that is it.
The powerful stay so powerful and suck the blood of the skinny dying men of Egypt who ride the trains before planning their bucket list, not knowing that it was a death wish not a just a ride.

the amazing thing is that every time they get a powerful figure in an interview their reaction to all the rightful accusation is "the people of Egypt are by nature naggers" it is not nagging when no rights of basic survival are offered like health safety and nutrition and transportation.

The masses of the overpopulated country of Egypt are dying in the corner and the people in the big seats think that compared to millions if we loose twenty it is no biggie!!

Does our over population give right to the death traps every where? is it an attempt to decrease our rising population?

The price of the Egyptian dead man is low and his family get some cash in an envelop. How does the man responsible for all the dying victims of corruption and stupidity, sleep at night. The people trust the men in power and the men in power think they are there to enjoy a luxurious ride not to serve the people. They think the people are their slaves and they exist to be trapped in traffic so their car passes, or better yet to die on the train, the train that in many places is the safest way, is in our country a death ticket.

Who cares about the Egyptian dead man on the train, no one, because he is not V.I.P and he has no high profile family to go to court and hire good lawyers. He has no one, he is dead like an ant that they stepped on and they have no guilt they will party at night. Only his creator can help him now.

We once built pyramids. Now all we care about is private business and the simple train is too complex to manage, too dangerous to ride, too trivial to attend to.

May those who we lost on the train rest in peace, who knows maybe they are the lucky ones, they do not have to suffer on this land anymore.
