Who Will Now Pay The Electicity Bills........ - April 28, 2011

She walks through the dark road, worn and torn, staring at the road blankly.
Today, she got her final payment. Payment of her enitre life's work.
Work she did on bringing up her children.
She fought the city, when she was widowed so that her two liitle sons would make her proud.
She toiled hard, washing nd cleaning people's homes, so that the two little ones could study.
She walked the streets, so that they could go to school on a cycle.
She went door to door, so that they could get a job.
She begged for money, so that they could marry.
She took up extra places to work, so that their children could have a mosquito free night.
She works, even though old, so that their electiricity bills are paid.
And today, she gets her reward.
The scars, the burns, the blue wounds down her neck,
remind her of the house for which she fought,
and from which she's been thrown out so that thay could have an good big place to live in.
With no space for an old baggage like her.
even when she closes her eyes one day,
they will not have a guilty heart,
for a day or two if they had.
The only thing that will worry them is that who will now pay the electicity bill.
