Yesterday I had a dream, I was back in Caracas with my dad and we were going somewhere... not sure where but we were on a bus, there was lot of traffic and heat. I remember being happy tho, talking to my dad about soccer and the normal politics bullshit.
All of the sudden, bikers caught up to the bus and for no reason they started shooting everybody inside, I tried to cover but my dad got hit....
I woke up, safe in a different country and I realized it was all a dream, the kind of dream I used to have quite often back home and it made me wonder: will this fucking paranoia ever go away?.... I would like to say that I hope that one day things will be better for all Venezuelans but sadly I would be lying, I have lost all hope...nothing will change, if you can just leave.
I thought of this song, as it illustrates better what it is like to live in Caracas.
Oncechot - Rotten City
Let me introduce you to Caracas, embassy of hell
land of murderers and shattas
Hundred people die every week
we nuh live in war
country is full of freaks
Ironically the singer, Oncechot, got shoot in the head years after releasing this song...he survived.

Things are really bad there. I wish i could do something to help.
Sorry to say this, but your dreams is our everyday reality, just this morning i recieved a call to tell me that a friend was killed to steal his car in Valencia, this is sad really sad in what my country is becoming. Saludos y un abrazo hermano @chitty
Un abrazo y fuerza bro!
These are reasons why I count my blessings. I never grew up in chaos at this level. I keep myself updated about what is going on around the world. I can't express how unfair it is, that I wasn't born around terror and you were. I can only imagine the mental scars you have. I'm no better then you are and I can't take anything for granted, especially being born where danger doesn't compare to where you have come from. Thank-You for sharing!
insecurity in Caracas right now, is a nightmare :(
Man, I walk these streets everyday. Paranoia is normal now. It became a way of living. truth is, I won't ever be the same again. This has gone too far. I wish I could leave just like that, but whats the point on saving yourself, while those who we love and care for, are starving and goin mad because fear hate an paranoia overcomes. I don't have enough money to make a life anywhere else right now... I'll just have to start from 0.
Soy de Aragua y aquí corre la misma miseria sin sentido que en caracas, creada por miserables que no conocen mas que la violencia el odio y el camino fácil.
Saludos dónde sea que estés... Espero puedas sacar a tus padres de aquí y que logres recuperar ésa cordura que aquí perdimos.
