This is why the poor citizen pays a water bill equal to his monthly wages, this is a huge crime against humanity. What we pay for electricity and water is equal to what we eat. They have made us prostitutes, destroyed our mothers, killed our fathers without mercy. Cemeteries of Morocco are very awful for their horribleness and wideness.
