Floating

As I was going to meet some friends, I saw our national flag floating ,                  some soldiers were singing  national anthem, everyone stopped Untill  they finished the song.  A school bus passed,  some hanged balloons were floating While students were singing  loudly in the bus. The driver seemed to be late with students because he was rushing. Some people complained about such high speed. I thought about what could happen to him if he met some traffic police officers before reaching the school. It was not my business to focus so much on it , ( at other hand I am a parent ) Imagine if the bus collapsed,  some parents could lose their children. I thought the driver was drunk, But it was early morning ... Yes , some drinkers don't have specific time to drink when they are addicted to alcohol. I met them at one hindu restaurant in town, some flags of different colours were floating outside the restaurant and other hindu shop. We took some cups of black coffee as it was so cold. Later on , we left the restaurant to the port to get the tickets to go back home. The cruise ship was floating on lake kuvu to Bukavu port. After few hours we reached port of Bukavu and took taxi to Uvira. ...Third place in the Contest...
