THE CROOK DEEP WITHIN

Her eyes
the stories they told
the helplessness was real
I believed every word.
In the scorching sun
there I stood,
No buses or cabs in sight.

My son, her lips said
The awkward silence that followed,
Screamed authenticity.
Who begged with shoulders raised?
Talk to me, my eyes said.

Then she spoke,
In a bus, her purse was stolen
with it, all she had.
She lived far away.
How would she get home now?
With righteous indignation,
I sympathized.
Who would steal a mother's purse?

Three naira notes I had on me,
Two were mine, the other wasn't.
The bigger of mine I gave to her.
She was someone's mother,
she deserved it.
God bless you my son,
Her lips said.
Her eyes spoke gratitude,
as she brushed a grey streak of hair
behind her ears.
I believed her,
Mothers do not lie.


A week later,
the sun still as harsh,
at that same road,
I waited for a friend.
Towards me she came, it was her.
The same mother with the stolen purse.

My son,
she said again.
Help a stranded lady
and God bless you.
This time, it was her bag.
Someone stole a mother's bag.

Had she forgotten me?
I stared blankly,
and bottled my anger.
She was someone's mother,
she should be respected.
She was someone's mother
but that someone isn't me.
She understood
and walked away,
To try her luck with another son.

Hehehe... nice one guys
