The Happening
Not knowing whom it is waiting for-
it is waiting-and
if not detected-
not knowing whom it is destroying even-
it will destroy.
Thus stands planted a 'blind' bomb.
A young mom to pacify her little son
brings him to the shopping centre to-
buy him an ice cream.
The mom could have taken the son along-
to the icecream parlour- which she din't
'it is very warm baby, mummy will be back in a while'
she said and left him in the car with the airconditioner on-
she showed him the hand brake and warned him not to meddle with it.
The litlle boy was eagerly waiting for his mom-
he could see her from the car-
she was coming out with two cones in her hand-
the eager son could see her mom coming towards him.
Then suddenly it happened
the little one could see his mom in the air-
she was tossed in the air-
then suddenly the little one could'nt see his mom amidst the smokey air.
The little confused son dint know what went wrong
even if he would say now 'sorry mom i wouldnt trouble you anymore or
sorry mom i wont be a brat any more'
the mom is'nt going to come back to him.
What would go on in the litlle one's mind?
what would he think of the world?
Till now his mother was his world.
What would he think of life and the people around?
The sudden diappointment and helplessness with anger-
in which way will it take him?
A responsible mom had gone for what?
to warn a irresponsible government?
In which way will all this take him?
What would he become in future?
A shattered terrorist or a responsible cop?
Are we not entitled to lead a normal life?
where could we stray about- without knowing
where from we will be attacked?
what for we are attacked?
whose is this person attacking us?
WHAT IS THIS HAPPENING?
