the smile

"mama" i called her like a frightened kid that runs to his father. she could perceive the sorrow and pain in me." clean your face my boy, take a breath and talk to me. I see you have a heavy heart but I believe you will find the strength within you to talk" I sat up right then began." mama, why so much wickedness?". I was expecting a reply but she said "go on" i just left a horror scene, which I can't find words to explain. just before this,i was a witness to a mutilation that got me so..... powerless to stop the act, i was so weak and locked myself up, just for me to step out this day to see such again?" As i Sub, she drew closer and took me in her arms. the heat that emanated from her was so comforting. "look at me son, only the strong are permitted to see such as you, I believe it will not be the last. so rather than cry, you have a decision to take." the expression on her face was so serious,.so I asked " what decision?" Either you step out and prevent more people from being victims or you sit in every beer parlour to sub after such scenes. it's your job so get yourself together and face them." it was more of an order that gave me somuch energy. I felt like she transfered her strength to me so I could finish a job.

so satisfied, i tood up and walked to the door. just at the door post, I turned back and the smile on her face was so glowing. ( I guess she was no ordinary person) that smile was filled with so much emotions it was so comforting and encouraging. she moved up to me and with a kiss on my forehead she waved me away. I crossed the road, got on the next bike heading to the office and I was gone.
