If the skies could be so beautiful this evening, why couldn't it be the same for them?
People may think my batch maybe the unluckiest one, but I really beg to differ. I don't have to list it out, look around. When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. Hurdles comes your way, you jump over them. Trip and fall, the only way left possible is UP.
This evening I felt so, helpless. An old man fell down in the middle of a walkway. I happen to saw it and moved forward, but I could do nothing. He did not respond to any concerned questions by some men, one would even describe he was like a broken doll. Some men quickly called an ambulance and decided not to move him. I felt so helpless just watching the old man there. By the time the ambulance came, he was bleeding by the mouth. Then they took him away on a wheelchair, and he still was not responsive at all..
I decided to take a walk that evening, the red sunset wasn't common. I thought I felt better until I started to walk back, a hunched, old man walked up the same path I was taking. He rested a stick on his shoulder, some stuff inside bundled in cloth, and he was walking out of the residential area of terraces. He was walking ahead of me, towards my block. I trailed behind him until he made a turn into another block and dissapeared..I had the feeling that he was a vagabond..or a homeless. It's just..saddening, like being slapped with reality.
I really hope both of them will eventually have a better future ahead of them :(

You're my red sunset, and I'd keep chasing you till the end of the horizon, where you'd finally fade.Labels: What will you do in the face of reality?
