Before I write that Tess, I want to tell you something. Somethings.
Fuck it. Here goes. I went to Peshawar today. At faisal movers terminal, I met a kid. 14 years of age, studies in Sir Syed School, class 7/8. Dad dead. Mom disabled. He has a big sister who teaches Quran to children. He begs and sells masvaks (Desi toothbrush..really admired by Practical Muslims).
So we were talking and this guy from the Faisal movers security comes, stands outside the window, and flicks his finger on the boy, asking him to move. I was surprised as to why? We kept talking. He again silently indicated the boy to cut the talk and disappear. I couldn’t cut my talk short so I took him with me to the guard to see what the problem is. He starts ranting on how kids like this steal from customers and that I should sit down as I am a customer but this kid needs to leave.
This is the thing I wanted to say in the start, before telling you this story Tess. And I can’t put enough stress on it. I am a slow-reacting guy when it comes to physical confrontation. And I am a runaway kinda guy, instead of stay and fight. Me rather flee and survive.
I refused to sit down without the kid. He started threatening me. I was in now so I couldn’t leave. Slowly the crowd grew around us. Unlike the common notion, no one cared to help and by this time, that security guy had his goons surrounding him, abusing the kid, completely ignoring my existence. I just kept ranting on, asking them to stop. One guy then took me to a side, rather slowly, and the other ones shoved the kid physically out of the terminal. I was about to abuse them back at this point when I realized that won’t be a sensible move. So I just exited the terminal and talked rest with the kid outside. This was it.
It is confusing to me now. At first, I didn’t want to show it here because I was afraid it might come off as bragging how I assisted a kid. But I don’t care if someone misinterprets this. I’m not going to let the voice in my head tell you .. how crooked this world has become. It wasn’t even that security guard’s blame tbh. He was doing his job. Very abusingly, but just his job to not let beggars inside the terminal. He gets paid for it. It is the system which I wrong. Capitalism. It is the system which forced that kid to come out on the streets to sell misvak and beg to fulfill his family’s bread and butter. I hate this system more and more, with each passing day.
Do you know what other shit there is in society? Middle class. “Ohhh we are able to have food and a rather small, or in the village, but our own little home and we are studying so we are middle class. Upper middle class. Lower middle class.” NO YOU ARE NOT. STOP PRETENDING TO BE LIKE THOSE WHO ARE STEALING FROM YOU. ITS ONLY ELITES AND POOR. ITS ONLY CONTROLLERS OF THE SOCIETY AND THOSE WHO ARE BEING CONTROLLED.
It doesn’t get over. The kids of those elites, I meet everyday. The problem is, these kids don’t even know this system. They don’t know capitalism or it’s predecessor, imperialism. They don’t know what was before democracy. They don’t know the answer to the objection that frequently is posed on democracy, “Bndon ko gina krte hen Tola nhi krte”. They don’t have any idea of the slow poison they themselves are feeding into the poors. And the poors are not poors. No. They are all MIDDLE CLASS LMAO.
Poors aren’t interested either. Nor are elites. Nope sir nope, I am just stupid to say all these things. Nationalism, secularism and it’s roots. No. 75 sal bad b ye ksi hero ka intzar kr rhe hen. Islami touch zroor dilvana apne new hero se b. Bye.
