Penniless Revolutionaries

February 1
After Terrorist Military Coup, a lot of non-violence contestants appeared all around the country.
Because of hope of democracy, love of truth and hate of Terrorist Military Fascism,
people of justice from all over the country united and rebelled.

At the beginning of revolution, all classes such as government employees, businessmen, riches and poors participated.

As the time passed, identities of fake revolutionaries appeared.

They gradually went back to their former places with so many reasons.

Unless terrorist murders knocked their doors, they all forgot the present and future of the country
while doing their own business, having normal breakfast, future generations drinking beer and playing games.

People who were loyal to revolution continued and tried resisting difficultly under varieties of circumstances.

Some people who protested “Don’t go work and stay at home at ease”, didn’t care CDM employees like they promised.

While they were staying at home without worries, the employees and their families had to run and hide with fright.

Some employees had to go away and work for their livings, leaving their home away from their former jobs.

How to say like some employees as fake revolutionaries or straw fire revolutionaries?
They contested as “Don’t go office!! Leave out!!” but now they themselves are going to office.
They not only got points at revolution but also got salary. They pretended as only they and their family have lives.

People who were loyal to revolution, lost both their salary and family’s love.
Some families abandoned them without inheritance.
The more the captures are, conflicts with worried parents increase and they eventually lost family’s love.

With the perception for the end of the terrorists, they took risk and went into the woods to arm themselves.
Some people who couldn’t go into woods, took the duty as ‘Keyboard Fighter’ or ‘Donar’ as they didn’t want to stay still.

For those who wanted to have a conscience, they endured so many difficulties, adversities and weather for the peace of country.
If they had a problem, they had no friends and family to consult.

With the status of a comrade, they had to help and cheer each other throughout the rough times.

After attending the proper training and being ready for revolution, the next challenge was to get weapons.
When they saw their colleagues with weapons, they had to sigh with their flat pockets.

The desire for weapon is not for their own gain to protect themselves and their family.

The only desire for weapon is to protect their villages, cities, nation and unfairly killed citizens.

Even though they had determined to risk their lives for revolution, revolutionaries without weapons are nothing.
They couldn’t buy themselves because they had given up their jobs and families, so there was no hope of support for them.

Being set aside their pride, they had to borrow uniforms and equipments from other comrades who got more support than them.

Not even caring the risk of their families and themselves, they had to expand to social media to find ‘Donar’.

On social media, some people thought that only ‘Celes’ were revolutionaries, so their finding of ‘Donar’ didn’t go well.

50% of revolutionary forces in woods had only revolution dignity but no supply.
They didn’t even have training kits for morning PT, so to get weapons was so far away.

Some decided to take the risk to take over the weapons from dead terrorists on the battlefront.
Some took the risk on battlefront to find ‘Donar’ on internet when they got their time.

Even though they couldn’t meet in person because of different locations, each could see one another how much they were suffering from imperfection.

In fact, if we all people were united like at the beginning of revolution, there is no place for terrorist military to run.
But now, even I, who wants to be atheist, am praying to all gods repeatedly for penniless revolutionaries.

May the peace come over the flame of war

May the end of terrorist dogs arrive as soon as possible.
