ANOTHER MANS SHOE

in #poetry7 years ago

SHOES AN.jpg
Its 8 in the morning
I am sitting by the road watching people go about their day jobs
Some are smiling while some are putting on straight faces
You don’t really know what is going through anyone’s mind or happening in their lives at that point
I see a man shouting at a bus driver for no justifiable reason, he may not always be like that, who knows what has transpired between him and his wife before living the house
Suddenly I see a boy run swiftly through the crowd and someone’s ₦500 is gone, who knows how far starvation has taken him but if he is caught jungle justice would be served
I eyes scan through the crowd again and I see a lady dressed so provocating, look so rough and stressed out, who know what night job she does and why, I wouldn’t want to judge
After being lost in my thoughts for close to an hour I remember I have a class at 9 then I jump on the next bus and am off to school
Unfortunately am sitting in front of the gossip squad and I overhear them saying john is so unserious I hasn’t been to school for a month now, then I remember that he pays his way through school, oh! Another man’s shoe, only if they knew
They move on to another topic of Sandra and say her mom is a prostitute because she is never at home at nights but truly her mom works the night shift because she is a nurse
We tend to judge people based on what we see never wondering what they are passing through or the reasons for their action, it’s nobody’s fault that life doesn’t treat us the same way, so we shouldn’t want to judge anybody because if you were in their shoes you surely wouldn’t do better, WOULD YOU?
