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...
