Just another aimless guy across the bridge
In the silence of dazzling midnight, escaping from the chaos of a third world order country. The place where crowds of lowest caliber hassle to fill in their tummies, where the strings of inapplicable restrictions sew the lips of about 90% of psychopathic lunatics, slumbering an aimless and useless life.
From the suburbs to the most eccentrics parts of the city, a wave of passion ascends slowly till the day, where it reaches its peak. With a few sizzling spikes on his head and driving like the Schumacher brothers, approaching the speed of light. He could feel hundreds of eyes catching a glimpse of his captivating Mercedes.
On occasions, he felt proud but most of the times, arrogant. It wasn't his fault at all because reasonably, his good times taught him this egocentric lesson. His wallet always remained full till the end of very month - the day that brought another ten thousand inflating Pak rupees to his pocket by his filthy dad, the most plushest guy he ever saw on the face of this planet. His mother, the most heedless creature, was a party animal. A mis timely trait that relocated into him - he was socially hyper. He was a cool, nasty, flirty bitch; in the circle of his friends. He loved to shine, to dominate, to crush, to roar, to win, to be the coolest emo in this universe.
He was an under-rated punk, with a rebellious guerrilla hidden under the scum. The Guerrilla like Castro, Zapata or Che Guevara that would fight against all for his personal rights and modern liberty. He believed in what he did and did what he believed - when depress he either would smoke up a few cigarettes or gulp a few sips of branded Sam Adams beer.
His secrets were even deeper and dark - but a piece of ordinary diary page in the eyes of the elite class, he lived in. For the last three months, he experienced a havoc seven break-ups; sometimes the girl was careless, sometimes he was casual, sometimes the thingie wasn't a masterpiece, sometimes the slut was a cheater or sometimes too childish or annoying. Doesn't matter to him - he was a wealthy heir, adorably cute that girls may talk about him for weeks, great masculine physique that made him bullying his fellow nerds with a threat of staging a public 'phadda', a chain smoker which would play the guitar not exactly but a lot like Slash. Twice a day, he would drive to the most expensive restaurant of the city and and overjoy by chawing the finest chicken steak or spare the dusk fogging out a chocolate flavored sheesha.
He was a branded man, wearing branded shoes, branded T-shirts, branded denim jeans that hung at the edge of his hips. He loved to make just about everything from his fuzzy brown hair, regularly an Afro or sometimes rarely a Mohawk - he didn't mind. All he wanted to achieve was some sort of distinction or greatness to immortalize his satisfaction.
For the last eighteen years of his newly ripen life, he did every thing to embellish his blurred path of life - a number of which the one of his age must have felt ashamed of doing of. It didn't mattered to him, the horse of his life raced blindly around the course of never-ending madness. He often agrees by nodding his head - he has drowned in the sea, sea that chymifies religiosity, devoutness and unearthliness. Oh! someday he'll find a way out - yeah! hopefully someday.

A Wondrous Fable
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education.
If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."
And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia.
What saved him? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
"Someone once said what goes around comes around."
