I was going to study on a normal day
And here's what happened on my way
I started running down the stairs
Digging into my pockets for the fares
Like most Egyptians I was running late
I wanted to catch bus number eight
It gets some to the underground up straight
In the bus I was looking for seat
No place and the chairs weren't neat
I had to face besides the broken door
Where I heard nothing except the loud motor
Everybody was sweating and feeling absurd
Especially the driver who used a loud nasty word
With a miracle I reached the metro station
Looking toward to reaching my destination
Deep inside the metro, people are so loving
So crowded, they were nearly hugging
The metro kept stopping again and again
People started to complain and shout out in pain
Many passengers were falling on the floor
And there was great pressure on the door
Once it opened I found myself kicked outside
At the wrong station because of the pressure inside
I went to take taxi, I was so late
I only wish I could reach my work on the same date
Unexpectedly, a taxi breaks so violently
Yet he stopped some miles away I was determined to reach the car
When he yelled, How much will you pay?
I said, don't worry, it's not that far
When I paid he said, this isn't enough
Just look everywhere if you are not blind
Check the price and the petrol, we can't efford
I got out closed the door with a slam
And walked away, leaving behind the traffic jam
