Define elections, (with no reference to democracy)


Lately, It's much easier to be outraged by the political scene in Egypt, instead of pitching in with one's own version of one's own part of the equation. Most of the hardworking citizens don't have the luxury to have an actual misgiving here or there. "I don't have a choice but to vote to A" said an old man with an impression that it's a burden, not just towards his fellow citizens, but also towards his kids. He's in war that could come back to haunt him, since he's a guy with conscious, probably unlike the candidates. The underlying reason to choose is 80 percent economic to such goodhearted people. Sometimes, it's safe haven driven choice. In the middle of all this, they forgot about Scaf, Are they going to be less involved? Are they going to preserve peace? Are they going to carry us to conflicts with or without their own weight? 'Not my problem.", another well-educated young lady who thinks, priorities are changing.

So, at some point, we'll have to or not to choose between a theocracy with a long flaky, undetermined and covenant-like past and a capitalistic former prime minister/minister of aviation who was in the position of power during the famous "Camel incident".

Call it cruel injustice, fatal course of things, karma for not having this mutual standpoint. It doesn't matter: we're already here.

The presentiments we have for now make the already-documented sentiments towards any President quite vague instead of merely capturing the essence of the long-term traces any politician leaves behind.  And here, Robert Frost's words just fit, "I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way." 
We're in the middle of a battle, now, between a realistic vision and a dream. Between what could and couldn't happen if we set our minds on it. This inside flame should turn to something constructive, feel the other flames, use the portals, enslave the channels to do it, or else, let the generations to come pay for it.
From a non-practical candidate to another you couldn't help but think? Who's the least of two evils? Especially, after the blast Mubarak's trial have made the flame even bigger. Between contrived demarche of political parties, and the greedy scheme of the candidates, it feels like the revolution was never over. In fact, it needed that push. Between Islamists who still don't acknowledge the fact that there's blood spatter on their hands, with an intimate yet whimsical and goes as the wind blows and another type of gluttons, upstarters and lightweight status seekers, all what the revolutionaries have got are the will and perseverance that kept on dwindling ever since they found themselves in the middle of a deserted  war-zone like confined arena, between the aforementioned and SCAF.


Elections are no more the sole concern, it never was actually. But if this verdict we heard today is the last straw, so be it.
Poverty, humiliation, broad-daylight killings, repressed women and unfulfilled children right, social justice and the list goes on, are what the media dropped while advertising for "Who's The Boss!". Therefore, there's no better time for the eruption to make a comeback with a little more unity, a little less second-hand leaders and a martyr-like hero, "who" has always been the main aim. Speak of the unspeakable, sheer violence taking place each and everyday for a start. Then when you come back with pure, exquisite and immanent priorities, maybe then, the actual goals of the uprising would fall into place. Egypt could actually have a saying in the region and regain a long lost value and, who knows? One united nation to aspire for.
