I was walking along that lonely road , the sun was scorching and the sky looked raped and I had lost my shoes – wasn’t easy , with my ultra thin 40gsm cotton tunic and nothing much else; The road was burning hot and the vegetation scarce, thorny , ugly - all forms of life seemed cockroaching away from that bastard sun , all except me. I had no choice really , for I had to go on , in fact I had to , there really was no choice .
Parched, thirsty, I looked at the black , thin, vomit and urine spilled water stream as I crossed it – it gave no solace ( added to my smirk ) but it definitely had the pigs , dogs & bitches almost drowning me but fortunately they saw I was walking and they slouched back – looking away from me- almost instantly they were so busy digging the cool , dark slush and dirt that even the crows and eagles respected their dirty , dirty turf .
I
I walked on
For I had to
Walk on
