ONE ON ONE

Aye!

Look at thy world!

Just look for a moment!

Now look back.

What do you see?

“I see difference.”

“What difference?” A voice echoes soothingly.

“Peace and prosperity,

Chaos and bleakness.”

“Worry free souls.

Looking now, it’s a disarray.”

“What do you miss?”

“The good old days.”

“I missed when problems weren’t problems, when love still meant love, even when medium felt like abundance.” 

Begins to cry.

“Now, I fear for my generation. I had to do it to leave this cursed world.”

Why?

“Thy body is weak, thy soul aches. I lost hope. So I had to do it.”

Taking yourself away?

“Yes.”

You were destined to make the future look like your past.

‘How? I knew nothing. I was told I knew nothing. I was no good.” 

Weeps some more.

Weeps even more as realization struck him.

“I shouldn’t have done this.!!”

“I’m sorry. I take it back!!! Take me back.” 

“Your decision is irrevocable.” He said pitifully.

“Only He can decide the fate of man. If He finds thy broken soul repentant.”

“I beseech thee!! I will be different!” Sobs in remorse and wails loudly.

“He awaits you!” The final voice penetrated his soul. 

He wipes his tears and followed the guardian to the firmament.

What awaits him? He reckoned as he begins to pray for mercy.
