Sickening Sight

As I took bus 171 home yesterday, I saw something that left me with mixed feelings. A malay man was sitting down on the floor, half dazed, with his legs sprawled out, as if it was owned by someone in his family. The man was probably in his late 50s and wore a white from top to bottom and had a hat with green diamonds propped up on his head. He was able to do so as it was a bus meant for people with wheelchairs. He was clearly obstructing the passage as many passengers almost tripped over his legs while others had to make a conscious effort not to do likewise. I looked at that scene in disgust and at the same time, amusement as it was a little funny see people tripping or trying to jump across the malay man's leg. Other passengers were also looking on at the malay man; Some questioning, some glaring. Still, the man seemed oblivious to the stares that he is getting as he continues to sit there with no further action.

Overall I felt that the malayman was very inconsiderate and irresponsible. Inconsiderate by taking much space in the already crammed bus and irresponsible as his actions could have hurt somebody.

Poem : The Monster

In the Monster's stomach we stood and sat.
The stomach lurched forward then backwards;
It's rear spewed out toxic fumes.
Anxiously, patiently, we waited,
hoping to get out soon.

(This is a poem created by me and me only. This is a metaphor of a bus.)

Hellloooo!!!
