ONE ON ONE.
<p>ONE ON ONE</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Aye!</p><p><br/></p><p>Look at thy world!</p><p><br/></p><p>Just look for a moment!</p><p><br/></p><p>Now look back.</p><p><br/></p><p>What do you see?</p><p><br/></p><p>“I see difference.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“What difference?” A voice echoes soothingly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Peace and prosperity,</p><p><br/></p><p>Chaos and bleakness.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Worry free souls.</p><p><br/></p><p>Looking now, it’s a disarray.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“What do you miss?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“The good old days.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I missed when problems weren’t problems, when love still meant love, even when medium felt like abundance.” </p><p><br/></p><p>Begins to cry.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Now, I fear for my generation. I had to do it to leave this cursed world.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Why?</p><p><br/></p><p>“Thy body is weak, thy soul aches. I lost hope. So I had to do it.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Taking yourself away?</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yes.”</p><p><br/></p><p>You were destined to make the future look like your past.</p><p><br/></p><p>‘How? I knew nothing. I was told I knew nothing. I was no good.” </p><p><br/></p><p>Weeps some more.</p><p><br/></p><p>Weeps even more as realization struck him.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I shouldn’t have done this.!!”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I’m sorry. I take it back!!! Take me back.” </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>“Your decision is irrevocable.” He said pitifully.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Only He can decide the fate of man. If He finds thy broken soul repentant.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I beseech thee!! I will be different!” Sobs in remorse and wails loudly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“He awaits you!” The final voice penetrated his soul. </p><p><br/></p><p>He wipes his tears and followed the guardian to the firmament.</p><p><br/></p><p>What awaits him? He reckoned as he begins to pray for mercy.</p><p><br/></p>
