this city has expired

i really do not mean to be so negative
but coming back from the beach to cairo
all i could smell was the stink
like old milk in the fridge
this city is getting more rotten everyday
we love it so much that we do not see it or we do not want to admit it
and we do not want the people to say it
but we know they are right
the garbage
the stink
the people
everything is overdue
run away from the city while you can
an ugly dust covers us all with grey and makes us dull here
meet us anywhere else we would be missing the stink but glowing with oxygen and fresh clean pores on our skin


there is no better beach naturally speaking than the beach of our north coast
it might lack the atmosphere you find in europe and beirut but this sand and water quality can only compare to the maldives
to the islands that are now designed for honeymooners

on the egyptian north coast you will find the biggest national waste
these houses built for one month in the year are such a waste closed all year round and hidden from tourism
why doesn't the government supply us with means for permenant life there?
a school
a hospital
a chance

then again we all like to gather like cockroaches around the stinking city of ours
for some reason nobody thinks of spreading further than katameya and 6 of october

this city has expired, yet only here can you order your groceries to your doorstep and if you do not have cash the supermarket guy will bring you the credit card machine to your doorstep.

is it for these comforts that we stay and ignore our inability to breathe fresh air or walk the streets like other normal people from anywhere?
