heartbroken

Even though I'm many miles away from home I still get updates on the upcoming elections.. and it's heartbreaking..

How is it that identity cards are being handed out to foreigners who haven't even gotten citizenship the proper way? How is it that votes can be bought in broad daylight and absolutely nothing can be done?

How do you stand a chance at winning a fight that has been rigged against your favour in every single possible way?

I didn't get to vote this year but I believe in fairness, justice...

In all honesty, I am afraid.. afraid of what the country is becoming.. Instead of moving forward we're slipping and sliding backwards.. Values such as honesty and integrity are not being advocated but we're shown that evil, greed and lies will take you far in life.

My heart breaks because there is nothing I can do..and it breaks even more because I'm not sure if there's anything that ANYONE can do..
