In a 2 minute sequence on the MARTA…
Waiting for the bus, I heard someone guys hollering behind me to a lady walking by. It turned out to be an older white women who were actually soliciting THEM for drugs. I watched the whole encounter. Slip into the indent of the building, a slight handshake, move on.
After a few minutes on the bus, in the middle of my Kanye-fest, my eyes wandered to the people getting on. A little boy, cuter than a dozen baby bunnies, ran in fearlessly. Through the whole bus ride, he was waving at the other passengers, trying to stand on his seat to pull the stop cord. Innocent as can be.
Still on the bus, a ridiculously thin woman walking by the window caught my eye. She was smoking a cigarette and wearing a mini-skirt. She also looked to be about 70 years old. Her skin looked like it was dripping off her face.
What’s the lesson here?
I’m not really sure. What I DO know is that it hurt my heart to think that this little boy would most likely grow up to be like those men dealing drugs, and maybe even end up emaciated because of drug use. Unless something/someone intervened.
