REVENGE, Twice the lesson (continued)
Something cold and wet is
pressed against his forehead.
He can hear a voice calling to him
from far away. he slowly opens
his eyes, and everything is a
blur. He attempts to focus as his
name is still being called.
"Chicky can you hear me, Chicky
are you hurt?"
His vision clears, but not his
memory.
Suddenly gripped by fear he thinks,
"what am I doing on the floor, how
did I get here?"
He tries to sit up, but is held down
by a gentle hand.
"Don't move, just answer me, are
you alright, his mother asked in a
concerned sad gentle voice?"
She can't help, but blame herself.
"Ma, I'm ok, just let me sit up!"
He sits up, and like a flash of light
it all comes back to him.
This is the second time in his 11
years, that he has intervened in his
mothers beatings. Once when he
was 9 and today, and both times he
awoke looking at the sky from the
floor.
In his head he can hear the voice of
his friend REVENGE saying:
"You will not listen when I say, it's not
your time as yet, you must prepare.
Twice you have attempted and twice
you have failed. Listen to me and
VICTORY will be in your hands.
The secret of REVENGE is time, they
must forget what they have done.
When your time comes, you will enact
and overcome. There will be no open
door for their escape, only the pit that
leads to their very GRAVE!!!"
