An Unknown Truth
It was a warm summer day when I was awaken by loud discussion. I walked
outisde to see what all the commotion was about. A lady across the street was
yelling at a man who stood beside her. She was full of rage, but the man, he
was full with calm.
I went up closer so I could get a better look, and noticed the man who was
standing beside her was her next door neighbour, Jason.
"This man here is a monster!" The lady across the street yelled.
"Don't be fooled by his beautiful eyes, don't be fooled by his wonderful speech,
for what rests inside his heart, is all pitch black dark."
What has he done to cause her such rage?
"He will lift you up, away from your problems."
Then exactly what is so wrong with him?
"Then he'll smash you down hard, wth all your hopes and happiness becoming
lost!"
Could this be?
"The thing that rests in his heart, is the thing we fear the most! It's the devil that
dwells in his mind, and heart! Do not fall into the trap that I once had!"
The last time I saw Jason, he was hanging by a rope on a tree in front of his
house.
