YOU...

YOU are present in my life each day. You always make me think of you and manage to stay in my mind even against my will. I thought you'd get better as time passed, but my expectations were in vain...You got worse than a naked beggar on the frozen streets, asking for relief from his excruciating pain. My soul is tormented whenever I think of your deeds and how they affect every single person you have under your cruel domination. Can you see my point? If you only hurt me, I wouldn't hate you so much. I'm as insignificant as a drop of water in the Pacific ocean. But you're hurting 21 million people, including the ones I love. 20 years ago you died, but you somehow managed to come back even more powerful and evil. You say you want to protect us, but with every single step you take, we feel more and more exposed to degradation and despair. You buy yourself a 2,000$ purse, you take away a million people's breathing air. You buy yourself a fancy, unimaginably expensive villa and hundreds of people die of hunger. You go shopping in Paris and you pay with the life of mothers and fathers who can't feed their children a slice of bread. Now you're thinking of taking 25% of our lives...as if you haven't taken enough already. 

Let me tell you something! You will make us kneel in front of you and beg for your mercy. You will consider yourself victorious. You will have the entire world at your feet. And then you'll disappear, but this time for good. It will take you by surprise, but the pain will be millions of times stronger than the one we are feeling now. So enjoy the illusion you're living in while you still can.
