ENDURING LOVE

I read it in the news;

That,

During The Westgate Mall terrorist attack,

In Westlands,

Nairobi,

Kenya;

 An Indian boy

Had accompanied an elderly kin

For shopping

When the terrorists attacked.

The news had it that,

The boy could have escaped out,

But wouldn’t do that;

Lest he could have left

The elderly kin alone;

Who could barely walk,

Not even run.

As a result,

The boy remained behind,

To face come what may,

With the elderly kin who could hardly escape.

As a result,

They were both executed.

It was the boy’s enduring love for her kin that made him hurtle to his fate.
