SPAIN

one thing i know:

you can take the girl out of spain, but you can't take spain out of the girl.

i love my country.

i love it.

i am grateful i was born there.

truth be told, i've been a bit disconnected about what was going on there since i came here to canada.

but i am sure i can be forgiven, because starting a life somewhere else, having 3 kids... i think i can be excused.

but lately, i've been watching their news online.

depressing is not even close to describing it.

my heart aches.

my country, my dear country is on a huge crisis.

last week they had the provincial elections.

a change is desperately needed.

anyway... i can't stop thinking about the situation there.

we want to move to spain, for a few years. but we need it to be on its way up, nor down.

i wish i could something.

i had a dream last night.

i was in some kind of meeting, people gathered to talk about options to get the country up again.

politicians and commoners were there.

the king and queen made an appearance.

i approached a lady that in my dream was the minister of defense.

i wanted to sound serious and formal, but i started crying to her.

i appealed to her love for the country, its people.

how could there be so few with so much, and so much with so little? i asked her.

couldn't they do something to be FAIR?

i saw the king and queen with their crowns, and their gowns...

" first thing i would abolish the monarchy!"

i had some fears they would accused me of treason, but i said it anyway.

"we can afford all that and people can't afford housing??"

i wanted politicians to give all they had too, for the nation. that way they will be real heroes.

i was so upset.

how could they see the country fall and think only on themselves?

it just doesn't make sense in my head they stand on platforms, and on front of mics, asking people to trust them with their votes, with their money, with their future...when all they seek is their own interest.

i know beyonce says girls run the world... i know, you wouldn't like to contradict her,

but no, girls don't run the world... corruption runs the world!

it is a fun song, though.

so enjoy!
