1. "They sat around that fancy meeting table with their iPads, blackberries and iPhones, some fancy hors d'oeuvres, not knowing what to do" 
   They all wore such expensive clothes, pinned with mini gold plated Egyptian flags, I asked them how? Where? When? They said we don't know.
2. Three television screens hanging for a backdrop, Burberry coats on unoccupied chairs…intricate…I thought...
3. There was a funny spelling mistake on the wall, and an engulfing red and white theme to everything.
4. I stepped out for a smoke and wondered…What the hell are we going to do?
5. Somewhere else, not so far from here, their counterparts were in their same clothes since days. Dark circles under their eyes.
6. Cooped up in a little smoke-filled room that they only frequented on their breaks from the street that has become their home for weeks.
7. They skipped meals, sleep, medications…for a belief that nothing is worth fighting for more than this.
8. Little did anyone know…those silent, invisible heroes, toiling away to the bone, to the bottom of their wallets and peace of mind.
9. Sacrificing their relationships at home, their friendships in life, their lives every day, their everything. . .
10. Only to receive a phone call from that new touch phone, asking why they were no-shows…
11. Such blinding contrast between the 2, under an impression that they're fighting for the same thing. Weapons of vanity and weapons of souls.
12. And when all is said and done, and they both go home, no one will remember, no one will care, no one will really and fully ever know.
13. But…one thing will remain from all this…threads upon threads of ridiculously mindless emails…sent from my iPad, my Blackberry, and my iPhone
