Anger and fire

In my heart anger builds like fire it takes time to burn only me and then fade away leaving me with ashes
I always turn to water and the soothing shower
Contact with people no matter how dear is a recipe for arguments and trouble
But then again nobody likes to be lonely
Even those who act like it's their choice
It might be true for awhile but humanity needs the warmth and comfort of sharing to survive
Maybe not six families under one roof but people need to connect that's for sure
In Egypt mobile phones are best sellers
Everyone has one
Even the hungry or the unemployed man
And smoking is the culture
Everyone is lighting fire to their lungs
So much anger and self destruction
People smoke everywhere from elevators to hospitals they do
In your face in coffee shops they puff the smoke
And anywhere you go indoors you will come home smelling like an ashtray
I had to make the choice: become an outcast
Lonely and left behind or a second hand smoker
The only reason people react positively to your annoyance to smoke and inability to breathe is if you are with child other than that you leave the table
Shishas and cigarettes are the social life here in Egypt and if you do not know how to cope you are not part of the crowd
The non smokers feel guilty for their desires for a healthier place to sit and breathe and the sensitive smokers who walk away to smoke and come back barely exist
I know only one person like that
But it is considered rude to ask someone not to smoke next to you if you do not have a serious medical condition you should be silent and enjoy their puffs in your face like you were meant to

And the different ringtones of mobile phones and people having their conversations in the middle of your lunch or outing interrupting everything will drive you mad

The fire builds burns and rests
With water you can help it turn to ashes



My advice always jump in the shower
