“Sir, can I help?
You seem tad bit distressed.
Why, you’ve been sitting on that bench
Far more than anyone else;
For whom do you wait?”
The wrinkled, old man,
Waiting on the bus stand
Surprised by the voice of a gentleman,
Looks up with a soft and tired gaze:
“A wisp
Of my angel’s voice
Enthralled
The Devil’s quiet.
And now, I await
Her return.
‘Cause she told me
Not to believe
What we see
On the telly.”
The young man, bewildered,
Takes the Grey
For a loon hinderance.
” Come, sit here.
And I’ll tell ye
All my sister told me.”
A patient hand
Although trembled,
Yet the soft whispers
Danced, unshakable.
“She made me swear
To wait right here.
For the rides in the fair,
We had to go and share.
So, I waited
For her to return
From her red, cumbersome building.
Y’see, I waited for her
For three days and two nights:
Constantly.
Until they said
Some rubbish on their T.V.,
‘Small life crushed
In a killing spree.’
But, no;
I still wait for her touch.
Because she told me
Not to believe
What’s on T.V..”
The old man looks on the ground,
Whilst a helpless tear falls down.
“No, I don’t believe
What’s on T.V. ….”
