USPA NEWS - A short story which I have read about the group of donkeys attracted me which bears symbols and connection with what happening in Iraq of disgrace and desirableness in the hands of the political ruling class in addition to the repercussions of the nasty situation and affairs .
The story talks about the community of the donkeys but the symbols of the link between it and the government were placed by me as well as the upcoming dialogue which is out of my imagination.The story is as follows:
In a stable there were a group of donkeys live in it.This stable was neighbored closely by the Green Zone in Baghdad inside which most of the Iraqi politicians live far from the people.
In that place there was a little donkey being the son of the boss of the donkeys in the stable.This little donkey used to watch the Green Zone everyday and how those politicians live with wealth spending , opulence and safety in addition to their immunity which they enjoy in everything plus the bodyguards and armored vehicles while the Iraqi people suffer strongly from a painful tragedy
The little donkey, after watching all of these privileges of the community of the Green Zone,he went on hunger strike.His body began to weaken and his ears became smaller.The father donkey who represents the boss of the group of the donkeys knew the deterioration of the health situation of his son and inquired about the reason from him.
He started to ask him as regards the reasons of his sadness and worsening health addition to deterioration of psychological situation.The donkey answered his father saying: What makes me sad that those Iraqi politicians who live in this zone which neighbors us and called the: Green Zone ;Why did we lack the privileges which are enjoyed by political class? Aren't you my father the boss of donkeys and top responsible out of us ? The donkey son continued inquiring:Why are we working diligently throughout the day without tiredness while those mock and laugh at us particular when one of those politicians perpetrates a shameful act , they insult and say to him:You are Donkey son of a Donkey! father this political class has no work or business?
The reply of the father donkey was as follows:Listen my little donkey:those politicians live very far and away from the people under the protection of the fences of the Green Zone leaving the poor people in destruction and torture.Do you,son,agree that we,the donkeys ruling family,live outside the stable and be free of conscience and responsibility?
The father donkey continued to say: Listen,my son: do you agree that one of us ,we the community of donkeys,exists and appear to be despicable such as the parliamentary member Mahmoud Al Hassan who never absorbs anything in his life but he is only a monkey mimics his subordinates ?We,my son,the community of donkeys,do not accept and never be honored by such despicable man.The big donkey continued to say:Do you accept that,in our community, a strange creature comes up such as the woman member of the parliament Alya Insayif who throws the shoes against the parliament members ,in spite of the fact that they deserve it more ?;But nevertheless ,we the community of the donkeys ,respect each other. Do you, my little donkey,accept.
to have a female donkey ,such as Hanan Al Fatlawi demands killing all of the Iraqis as per her theory:to kill seven of the Shiite versus seven of the Sunni sect?
We,the community of the donkeys,never kill each other .Did you hear,my little donkey,that amid the community of the donkeys,there is discrimination among us on the basis of color,gender and affiliation? Did you see a donkey curse and shout against the others as the politicians do via the satellite channels and inside the parliament? Did you know about a donkey who resembles the parliament member Al Haboosi who a new suit and a neck tie each day out of the robbery of the funds of the dis paced ? Do you accept such disgraceful and scandalous thief in our community ?
The father donkey continues talking and saying to his son:Have you ever heard about me,I am the big boss of the donkeys,that I robbed them leaving them die of hunger and thirst? Did you know ,as regards your big donkey father,that he owns real estates and apartments in the countries of the world as a result of illegal wealth as the politicians do who possess real estates around the states of the world in millions of Dollars which they stole from the state treasury?
In the end,my little donkey,you have to judge your donkey mind and raise your head and remain, as I wish,a donkey son of a donkey because we,the community of the donkeys do not have honor if compared with those corrupt imposter and swindler Iraqi politicians .It is our pride , we the community of the donkeys ,not to kill,not to steal,not to backbite and not to slander anyone.After all of this conversation , the little donkey became convinced and began to engorge the barley saying:
Yes, I will remain and be proud of being: a Donkey son of a Donkey
