I am feeling guilt cause I am not going to be at the protests in Greece on Thursday, (October the 18th), as I leave abroad. I wish I could be there and fight with any means I have, not cause there would be a result, but to show my anger.
I am feeling guilty cause I don't reside in Greece anymore. Initially I left for the experience, to see what it's like. But now I feel like I left home on a Saturday night to go out and party hard, but in the middle of the night I realise I have forgotten my keys... I can still party on, but I can't get back home.
I am feeling guilty cause I let all the pimps who control the Greek media and usually the biggest construction companies (Alafouzos, Vardinogiannis, Bobolas, Kyriakou, Psycharis etc) to rule and corrupt the Greek politicians.
I am feeling quilty that I don't break in a TV station like the biggest one, Mega Channel to terrify all the journalistic faithfull dogs of the Greek regime, (Pretenderis, Papadimitriou, Protosalte, Kampourakis, Kapsis, Tremi, Anastasiadis etc) by just asking them a few questions live on air about how they never speak regarding certain scandals, they always support specific banks, they never support the Greek workers...
I am feeling guilty cause I can't be a volunteer in Greece and help immigrants, who have no money, no shelter, no health care, and the fear of getting killed everyday by fascist Golden Dawn, or by any sort of Mafia operating in Greece.
I am feeling guilty that I can't even convince my closest family and friends to start rebelling against the horrific situation in Greece. I can't convince them to come even to a protest with me, or to actually strike on a general strike day.
I am feeling guilty that I can't even understand how my father and my mother are so scared of change that they vote for the regime powers that brought Greece into this mess - μy parents, who took part at the rebellion against the Greek junta in November 1973. Especially I am feeling guilty that I can't confront my father who is speaking a lot worse towards radical left SYRIZA party, than about neo-nazi Golden Dawn.
I am feeling guilty that I am not in Greece to spread fear towards Golden Dawn pseudo matcho guys, who know to bit up and kill only women and defenceless refugees.
At the same time, I am guilty cause I can't reveal my true identity. But I don't cause I am scared I am going to lose my job. Nevertheless, this is choking me.
I am guilty cause being from an anarchist and leftist background, I never spoke out loud against tax thieves in Greece. Even though the Greek state makes you a tax thief.
I am guilty cause I enjoyed how my parents were robbing the state, giving me the best education, the best toys etc. Even though states are No1 thieves everywhere in the world.
I am guilty cause I never went to the Middle East to support the Palestinians in their struggle to get their homes back. Even though I had to understand that not every Jew is supporting Israel's apartheid.
I am guilty cause I didn't go to live in Cuba or with the Zapatistas and support their movements and their revolutions. Even if I don't agree with both of them in total.
I am guilty cause I never went to Africa as a volunteer to help people that starve to death. Only a charity I contribute to, doesn't quite cut it.
Finally, I am guilty cause I don't write about all of the above everyday. But I don't have time, and I pretend to enjoy life.
