Third person narrative would have you thinking only students are affected by the nationwide strike action, well your guess is as good as mine.
Lots of citizens are going crazy but the government seems to have no fault, or maybe they do but won’t take the blame maybe it’s for us who voted them in to take the shame, sell us a propaganda about the present one but hop along on the jolly ride and do the same, might even set the corruption up a higher pace.
I see the traders who earn a living from selling to these students dying, they have no source of income.
The road transport workers who pay their bills are not smiling, lots of lives are on hold, their stories are still left untold and nobody is even ready to listen, heaven knows we’re bleeding.
Education is supposed to be the weapon, our government is sending us armorless to the war front so we all get killed, the ones who return unscathed will get shot for returning.
It’s a lawless country now isn’t it? My pensioner father and I are at home and starving and if I decide to work at a company I’m rejected for zero qualifications but how can I even have qualifications when I’m not learning.
Pick up arms and take to the streets, in my country you’ll be brought home dead for trying to meet your needs! This is not an answer though, so what then is?
