at the masses in this sick country! when will we wake up? when will we realize the rottenness that we are immersed in, the sewage that has nearly drowned us! when will we object at our own complacency at things happening around us, deaths of innocent people, no self-respect, rampant corruption, soul-less, spine-less and avaricious leaders, lack of basic needs for a decent life like, access to clean water, basic health care, safety of life and property. There is an apathy, an indifference, a lack of concern about the country, about how direction-less we are as a nation, about the future of Pakistan, everything is steeped in mystery, in conspiracy, in undefined terms. It seems that all that is to know about events in progress is through twists and turns of dizzying kinds, through foggy twilight, and hazy vistas. There is a strange feeling of knowing and not knowing, a vacillation between 'is' and 'is not' and 'what will be'. We are all lost and comatose like Neitzche's 'herd', yes, we are cattle-like, stoned and drugged having no convictions and no beliefs.
at the senseless goofs that we are, always waiting, always in awe, always looking out towards some higher power, some other, some outside force to explain away our ills, our past, our present and our future. I hate our insensitivity to our own identity, we are at the primal and animal level of self, the most we can do is relate ourselves to our ethnic roots, and that too at a luke warm level.
at being a part of a nation, and a citizen of a country that has no pride and no self-respect, and no urge to better and change themselves.
