Egyptian faces


Eih today may seem an ordinary day 3ady you wake up go to college come home, during this process u never look around you cause simply you're too busy to notice any person around you but today for me was different i said why not see the faces of Egyptian people in the morning.

Simply i was ridding a taxi and i was beside "el 3abaseya square" and i looked at the faces walking in the street and i was so affected that i wanted to take a paper and write a poem but i didn't cause i simply remembered a song called "mad world" and it really described the situation perfectly the situation of Egyptians in the morning going to work

here's part of the lyrics from the song


All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tommorow, no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cos I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad World Mad World Mad World Mad World



On my way home i tried to notice the same process again but this time i was riding a public bus and it's the same sad smile on every face you can see deep inside them their pain, sorrow desppair you can see they're tired Losing hope and no one is there to help them i felt that this country is suffering begad, it's my problem that i can read faces and i know when someone is sad or happy or tired but today i havent seen any person smiling they're all tired depressed I wish people of authority" you know who i mean" pass by the same process i passed by today

but the only thing that makes me feel happy is when i see a cute little child smiling in the street breaking all the sadness around him "The next generations are our only hope"
