Addicted to Egypt

I looked around and saw everyone carin, everyone paying their last piaster to get enough credit to vote.. everyone saying its our degnity.. everyone sayin he has to win.. flyers and ads everywhere....
i looked around and wondered how come everyone cared for the same person..
so ppl said its only cuz they tackled the name of the country... its only a new trend.. the guy is talented... so i looked up and though only if everyday we got an extra ordinary talent and sm1 attacking the country...

I looked around and wondered about that crowd in the street every couple of days, wondered about that crowd in cafes, wondered about how eager we were to follow, how eager we were to support, how eager we were to celebrate and how happy we were with that last minute goal...
I looked around and wondered how for few nights every boarder disappeared, how we all became one person with one dream and one way to achieve it... I looked around and loved the unity....
I looked around and wondered if that is the case then for sure we love this country, then we are one nation, then we sure can do smthn..
and then ppl said its just that we really wanna celebrate anything, thats y we r one unity.. but nthn more.. I looked up and said only if everyday was an african nation cup match in egypt..

I looked around again and fund almost everyone sitting at the same time to eat.. even those who did not have to, most of them did as of respect..
I looked around and wondered about the empty streets, the gathered youth around food tables, the youth in the street with bags of dates or distributing meals.. i looked around around and wondered about my friend who did not have to fast, but did not eat till we all went out for a meal that day..
I looked around and saw everyone helping, everyone caring to get the food to the other, everyone sharing...
and then ppl said, its just the occasions, just those certain hours of the occasions, even in feasts.. its just the unity due to occasions.. and so i looked up and said only if everyday was an occasion...

I looked around and saw everyone feeling sorry.. everyone is sharing condolences and everyone feeling how painful it is to lose a grandson..
ppl said its only human nature to feel sorry for a 12 year old boy and a grandparent and so i looked up and said only if everyday we had a strong human feeling moved...

then the answer came, do not u think our love for this country and the eagerness to share all those moments are enough human feelings to get out unity out of bed everyday..

one we were in different situations and we always said its just this specific situation, though each one is different.. one we are in nature.. but we have to embrace.. each of these situations force me to believe that a change can be done and EGYPT's name can rise higher than ever.. but only if we left the denial aside and admit it.. we are addicted to this country..
its like any drug.. no matter how sick it might get us.. we just love those few seconds of life it gives us...
