Market place

Once I went to the Market
I saw a man, His brother and Son.
They wanted to purcahse some items as is usual with people in the square.
But something was unusual...
The man saw some things, dirty and insignificant if you ask me, very tiny
Like ants, but lost without a leader
left to the storms of life
The father turned to his son, He was on his knees, helping the things to their feet.
Releiving them of their burdens
He nods in agreement
gives up his son as currency in exchange for theses things.
The son becomes soap and washes them.
They become clean, transformed.
The father and Son leave the market.
With the things, they leave the brother to guide and guard them.
To serve as their conscience until the return with his sin to claim their purchase.

The Examination Day

The bells chime
The books sit down
They begin to write
For hours unending, they pour out their minds
A do or die affair.

The bell chimes.

Finally they stop writing.
Some are happy and call the exam substandard
Some are angry at the books
Others are indifferent
Some lament for plans foiled
but nobody really knows until the judgement day which book studied which
and which book has become which

RUMOUR

Hmmm, rumour mongers
They usually come in whispers
Some with shouts of joy
Some with wailing and lamentations
The end result is usually anger
Anger by the accused
Anger at betrayal, secrets exposed
The only solution is a reversal of what has been broadcast
This is impossible because a rumour, once released can never be returned.
Be careful what with what you say. Your words just might return to haunt you!
