Poem
Here's a terrifying piece of news about every mother's nightmare... Happened in broad daylight with numerous customers everywhere... A mother, busy festive shopping in a local retail store, was distracted for a couple of minutes... She had her eyes and hand on her sweet little girl of 6 for all but a couple of minutes.. She turned around, panic rising but her sweet darling was nowhere to be found.. Her frantic eyes scoured all over as she desperately searched the whole floor... Acting fast, she informed the supervisor of the store, and a alarm was sounded... Panic button was hit and there was a security lockdown immediately effected... Exit points were secured and free movement among the customers was curtailed... An immediate search operation kicked in while a loving mother wallowed in despair.. For some 10 minutes it was high suspense noticeably tangible in the air... Patrons and management alike intensified search in rising desperation.. Until a scream of exultation pierced through the tumultuous situation and turmoil... A moment of pin dropped silence hung suspended in the air as all involuntariy recoiled... Then a frantic throng of people rushed in haste to the wash room area.... To witness the emergence of a security lady craddling a bedraggled little girl.. The little girl was a sight, her long hair was half cropped, she was dazed... Gone was her dainty little dress, she was in a garish pair of pants, eyebrows shaved... There was a few seconds of shocked silence, then the mother rushed forward.. A huge roar of approval erupted and claps of elation thundered in unison... Loving parents, do take heed for this was no figment of my imagination.... It did happen and the local daily papers headlined this episode for attention... All it takes is some 5 minutes for a predator to lead away an innocent child... In their evil ways, predators have endless devious means to sneak away your child... I hope this little prose of mine is pleasant enough reading but let it be clear... The message within is a dire warning to all parents who hold their loved ones dear... Please be forewarned for dangers abound in the wide world out here... Please be forearmed in order you and your loved ones are in the clear...
