Jeepney

Jeepney

            I watched the people pushing themselves to have a ride in a jeepney. They didn’t care if they will hurt others.

            The jeepney started to travel and the passengers were all cheerful. I looked at them and wondered what kind of people were they. My attention was caught by the baby who cried and carried by her mother. I saw the meaning of love between a mother and a child. Because of them I remembered my ideal mother who took care of me also.

            When I was as sleep, I heard two voices, giggled and talked clearly audible. I looked at them and asked myself if they were not ashamed talking so loud which might disturb others. The jeepney stop for a red light then there was a boy sat beside the old woman and asked for alms. The boy wore nasty red shirt and small yellow short which not fit to his height. In my surprised the old woman who looked gorgeous pushed the boy away from her. The Bible taught us that “if you want to give do it, but if not don’t do things which may hurt your neighbors”. The boy went down and didn’t have anything except from the insults he received from other passengers.

            A few minutes passed by finally I got my place where I was supposed to go. When I was alone, I realized that there were people who didn’t know the meaning of being a true human.  It was a sad experienced but it showed what the reality is.
