Negligence of Warning

The heavy rain that falls like endless awakes me...

The sky was filled with dark clouds...
Rain falls heavily and the sun was hiding beyond the clouds…
Therefore, there’s no sunrays that was scattered on the land, that heats the atmosphere and touches my skin with its warm embrace…

The ground was cold and drenched…
The whole area was gloomy...empty…
Electricity was out…
No entertainment, sadly…

I don’t see flying birds either…
They were on the branches of the trees, hiding…
Their wings were soaked from the rain…

All I could hear were those rain drops falling on the ground and make noises on our roof…
I thought it sounds like they were singing…
The wind blew strong and I realized… they were crying… screaming…
The thunder was growling… now shouting… loudly, madly…
This day, I am not sure of it… but I think nature was giving us a warning…
Like a mother who scolds her child…
She was anxious… but… does anyone be bothered?
Sadly… no one…

Let’s save our home…
Don’t wait until it’s too late.

A Child’s Ambition

It was almost noon when I left our house….

As I was riding on a public jeep there were other passengers around me…

Beside me there were two young boys…

The one was about 9 or 10 years old and the other one was about 7 or 8….

They were chatting about each house and establishments that they see…

As we passed through a place that looks like a place where they stock lots of sack of rice, the younger boy ask the other boy….

He said.. ”Is that a sack dealer?”…. “No”, the boy replied….

The younger said…”but it looks like one”…..

The elder boy said….”I really don’t know, I think it’s a hard ware store”…

The younger boy said…”When I grow up, I want to work on that….like my father who carries heavy sacks”…..

The elder boy asked….”Why do you want to be like that when you grow up?...can’t you think of something else?”…

The younger boy replied….”Because I want to earn money to help my family…how could I help them if I can’t be like my father?”…

The elder boy look at him, and look at the other way quietly….

I smile when I heard the younger boy’s line..” When I grow up, I want to work on that….like my father who carries heavy sacks”…not because it’s funny or something…but because his ambition was very simple and he’s sincerely dedicated his heart onto it….He wants to be a simple someone who works hard for something….

Maybe he has a pure heart....

And those people are the one that was blessed…

I was touched by his simple words….just like he was promising something that he will surely keep.
