The sky is no longer blue where I live, the trees are no longer tall and the leaves are no longer green, the streets are no longer clean, the roads are no longer safe, the people are no longer happy, the children are no longer playing, friendship does no longer exist and honesty and trust have been erased from our dictionary, decency and respect have been forgotten, fairness & justice lost their meaning in a cruel world.
Crime spread everywhere, laws are no longer followed, religions are no longer respected and humanity no longer exist, truth is being buried, liars are being believed, honest people are being doubted and respectful people are being judged.
People wake up one day to realize they are stuck in an endless road, they find themselves running so fast to cope with today’s cruel world, but what’s the point of running if you are not on the right road?!
They look around and realize that years have gone by faster than they ever imagined, time passed so quickly, they find everything is upside down, and they start wondering whether it’s all just a dream, whether all what they see or seen is but a dream within a dream!
And they try so hard to stand on their feet, and not to be just another face in the crowd, try to make a difference and the harder they try the harder they fall, fall so deep and so hard in a hole of disappointment and despair where they just can no longer stand on their feet anymore.
It makes me sad seeing so much chaos and damage everywhere, it makes me sad seeing that nobody seems to care, it makes me sad seeing people lose their values, hopes & dreams, it makes me sad finding that nothing is the way it seems, it makes me sad seeing humiliation, prostration and fragility in people’s eyes, it makes me sad I can’t breathe fresh air within a thousand miles … It makes me sad I can no longer figure what’s false and what’s true… It makes me sad that the sky is no longer blue!

Hi Yousef
A nice entry as usual and kinda reminds me with the movie ” inception”….!!…”I can’t breathe fresh air within a thousand miles”…truly described and shows the agony and desperation people are going through these days…
Its really sad to see how our world has become…and its scary to even think of what’s yet to come….it is hard to believe how are morals have changed and that change is accepted… I’m actually tired of those who claim there is nothing to be done…I know it sounds rediculous but I deeply believe that if we have the will and belief…we can make a difference…no matter how minute the differences are…
“but what’s the point of running if you are not on the right road?!”…I agree with you…but thinking it over…if we haven’t run at the first place…would we know we are not on the right track??!
Thank you for remiding us of our surroundings…may be it would make us realize that its time to wake up!
Inception, I loved that movie, it’s brilliant. I like the idea of “What if we didn’t run on that road, how would have we known that it’s the wrong one?”, nice thought!
