A black boys childhood

Screaming in pain as weeps lashed my head.
Mum please I won't do it again.
As though she didn't hear me, she flogged me continuously.
I won't beg again I said repeatedly

Did I bring you up to beg?
Don't I feed you properly?

I'm sorry Mummy.. Please forgive me.
She kept flogging till she was satisfied
Then she said

If I ever see you beg, I will flog hell out of you.
Get away from my front.

I left her front sobbing. Since our house is face me I face you, I didn't want my friends to see me as a weakling so I immediately cleaned the tears off my eyes.
Almost immediately my neighbors kids came out of their rooms with plenty kuli kuli and I couldn't resist the temptation... I just had to beg again..
Please give me I begged
As I stretched my hand to collect
I heard my mum call my name

Johnny you are begging again

I froze in shock.. 'Cos I knew immediately that I'm dead.
