Me and Life (ሂወት እና እኔ)

         ፅዱው ኢትዮጵያዊ እራሱን እጅግ ይወዳል።ስራ በመስራት፤ቆሻሻ እንዳይነካው፡ጉልበቱ እንዳያልቅ፡ውበቱ እንዳይጠፋ፡ ብሎም ንፁህ በልቶ ንፁህ ለመልበስ ይጠነቀቃል።በዚህም ምክንያት የቤት ሰራተኛ ይቀጥራል።ልብስ፡ቤት፡እቃ ታፀዳለች።ልጅና ቤት ትጠብቃለች።እንዳጠቃላይ ወዶ ገብ ባርያ ትሰኛለች።

          ቀጣሪ የማያውቀው ቆሻሻ ካልሆነ የሚያውቀው ኣይነካውም።በምናውቀው ባቻ ቢሆን የምንሞተው እንዴት መታደል ነበር።ያወቃቸውን ቖሻሾች በሙሉ ሰራተኝት ታፀዳለች፤የማይታወቁትን የፀዴው ኢትዮጲያዊ ቤት ይቁጠረው።ልጅት ስታፀዳ ደፍ ደፍ ስትል ኣዛዥ የፈራው ቆሻሻ ይወራታል።የቤቱን ሙሉ ቆሻሻ ትችለዋለች።እንደገና ወጥ ትሰራለች እንደገና ሌላ የፅዳት መጓደል።

           መቼም ቆሻሻ ነች ቆሻሻ ትችላለች ተብላ ነው የምትቀጠረው።የሰውን ስታፀዳ እራሷ ትቆሽሻለች።እራሷን ለማፅዳት ግን ቀን ቀርቶ የማቱሳላ እድሜ ኣይበቃም።የሰዎቹን ጥራጊ መዓት ልብ ይለዋል።በዛ ላይ ለብዙ ባልቴቶች ኣሽከር ፅዱ ሆና ታየች ማለት ጭን_ገረድ ሆነች ተብሎ ይተረጎማል።የሰው ቆሻሻ ማየትም የራስን ፅዱነት ያረጋግጣል።ስለዚህ ስለቤት ሰራተኞች ፅዳት እንትኔ ብሎ የሚጨነቅ ፅዴ ማግኘት ከ44 የኣሜሪካ ፕሬዝዳንቶች ኣንዱ ጥቁር ነው ብሎ እንደመፅናናት ይቆጠራል።እንደ ኣጠቃላይ የቤት ሰራተኞች ቆሸሽ የማለት ዝንባሌ ያሳያሉ ብለን እነሱው ላይ ብንደመድም ይቀላል።

            በዚህ የፅዳት ጉድለት የሚከፋ ፅዱ ኢትዮጲያዊ ግን ብዙ ኣይደለም።ቆሻሻ ሰሃን እንጂ ቆሻሻ ኣቅራቢ ቆሻሻ ኣይመስለውም።የተዝረከረከ ሰው በንፁህ ሰሃን ምግብ ሲያቀርብ፡ቆሻሻ ልብሷ ላይ ህፃን ልጁን ሲታዘል(ለብዙዎች ቆሻሻው ልጁ ነው)፡ከነቆሻሻዋ ማብሰሏ ••••ወ.ዘ.ተ. ትዝ የሚለው የለም።እንዲህ ኣይነቶቹ ቆሻሾች በፀዴው ኢትዮጲያዊ የቆሻሻ ዝርዝር ውስጥ ኣይካተቱም።ቤታችሁ መጥቼ የተጎሳቆለችው ሰራተኛችሁ ኣጣፍጣ የሰራችውን ምግብ መብላት እንዴት እንደሚቀፈኝ ማስረዳት ብችል ደስ ባለኝ።ለሰራተኛችሁ ያለኝ ንቀት ሳይሆን መፅዳት ያለበት ፅዳታችሁ ወጉ እይቅርብኝነቱ እየነደደኝ ነው።

          Leaders are supposed to lead their people the right way. They are put in office to serve us. They are given the power to protect their subjects.

          What we are experiencing is very odd. Not only are they not protecting us, they are our main threats. Third world leaders view this differently. They expect us to die protesting to save their political careers. Kenya and South Sudan are prominent examples. They give us controversies and animosity to the extent that they even forget what their manifestos talked about. Seeing as their political careers are their main concern, they do not seem to know what to do once they are in power. They use the time to convince us of the good things they have done compared to the past leaders.

           Once they come to the power, all the oppression they had campaigned against becomes their own.

          We have to stop wherever we are going, frozen in traffic (potentially making you late from work- one of the most terrifying prospects) simply to allow diplomatic convoys to pass by. We thought they built the road for us. There is always light in the palace. This would not be a problem except that every government official has a palace and they use chandeliers, washing machines, fans and all sorts of things that run on electric power. (Why not? they can afford it) There is always running water in these palaces. All the royal family members, cars, dogs, their new buildings, get to take a shower. Yet one common guy cannot find water at school, home, and has nowhere to go.

         At election times, T-shirts made with public account money are given away for campaign purposes. The T-shirt says how the leading dictator or dictator party was good the whole time in office. Clearly it can't be regarded as good giving your subjects a T-shirt every now and then while taking away all the powers- electricity, water, communication, the other ones have long gone. A T-shirt is not food! It is only an attractive display for TV propaganda. We are paying these people to live a fancy life nothing more.
