It’s still, all for, S-H-O-W, folks, still, FAKING it here, the lies, PROMISED by these, government officials to we the people, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
How many heartbreaking stories, would we need, like the “tears of grandmother”, and the “tears of Taroko” to finally, WAKE the government’s sense of sympathy up?
After the Puyuma Express accident in 2018 took away eighteen lives, the Transportation Safety Commissions had demanded the Taipei Railroad Systems make EIGHTEEN changes, and the head of state, Su, after these accidents, pleaded, “we need to prevent tragedies such as these from recurring”, and yet, no more than three years afterwards, the Taroko Express accident, took another, forty-nine lives.
Within a month after the Taroko Express accident, the local epidemic broke out, the families of those who’d lost their loved ones in the accident originally wanted to see the government officials to make their pleas, but, they’d waited until the epidemic slowed, and went to see Wang, the head of government transportations agency, and yet, all they received, were the standardized responses, along with the settlements that the government agencies reached with the involved parties individually. As the families wanted to see the head of state, there was the public issue voting that came, and they were told, that Su is too busy, the families held it and waited until the votes were over, and still, they’d not gotten the responses back, they’d had to hold a public press conference, asking help from the public, then, they’d received, some, minute responses from the government.
The family of four, the Lins were only crossing the intersections for six seconds as the signal was green that they could go, then, the members were, killed by the driver driving drunk. This accident showed of how the structural problems of drunk-driving was, not only were these incidents frequent, the lacking of the systems of traffic was not planned out well enough in the light festivities in Kaohsiung, it showed especially, of how the society’s safety nets hadn’t been set up right, the elderly grandmother of the family, Lin, sat outside the I.C.U. alone, not dared going home, other than watching, taking care of her own injured adult son, she’s also worried, that as her granddaughter wakes from her sleep, she would get scared, because there’s no family around her; the elderly woman’s hunched back shadow, with the entire injured family on her back, it’s, truly, sorrowful to watch.
We’d thought that the donations would be, coming in for this family now from all around, but, the Kaohsiung city’s Social Services insisted on doing everything by the book, stressed, that there shouldn’t be individual fundraising accounts set up, causing a ton of the goodwill donations to not be donated; until the families held a press conference today, after the news media reported, on this, tenth day since the accident, the Social Services finally “took that sharp” turn, announced that they would be, setting up the specific donation accounts.
Comparing to how the mayor of Kaohsiung, Chen to remodel the Shoushan Zoo, raised forty-five million dollars N.T., the city government used all its might, and, pulled out the “Shoushan Zoo adoption means”, to explain for the funds being, allotted to the purpose, and not worked hard enough, to help the families in need, to get the assistance funds they’re in need of.
From the Puyuma, Taroko trains accidents to the family of four in a wreck in Kaohsiung, the politicians appeared more distraught than any and everybody else; and yet, as the camera lenses aren’t on them anymore, they’d swept everything under the rug, like it was, nothing, the families couldn’t see the leaders to get the help they are in desperate need of, and the reforms became, on papers only. The line from the families of the lost lives, “I hope that our families are the last ones being, sacrificed”, is, more sorrowful, than, the saddest.
And so, this still showed, of how these, heads of the governments, not just in this god damn country, but everywhere else in the world, only CARED about their public appearances, because they’re in front of the camera, under public’s eyes, of course they’re going to promise JUSTICE for the wronged, or to reform whatever, in front of the press release, and yet, the moment the cameras zoomed out, the spotlight turned off, say what? I never promised anything like that, you are, totally, MISTAKEN!
And that, is how we the general populations, keep on, getting FUCKED (don’t pardon me here!) up by these leaders of our separate cities, countries.
