I winks at him and rush to the bus stop
Yes,today is the day I’ll start working for the first time at the Minister’s mansion and it really a rare chance to be able to be employ there so I shouldn’t be lazy first day at work
I enter the bus and soon,arrives at the gate and knock slightly
The door open wide revealing another security man and he looks like a hungry lion
“What the hell are you looking for,woman?”he asks fiercely
I move back and bow
“I’m one of the new maid here!”I said
He hiss
“Where’s your identity card?”he asks me
I manage to hide my laughter
“What ID Card huh!”I said

“There’s a spicy biscuit under the pillow,take and use it to buy what he needs!”she said and run away
Before I says anything
“Why did she turn her head sideway and also run when I wanna talk?”I asks and giggles
I sigh and turn to the bed
“How can a spicy biscuit be use to buy school stuffs?”I asks

“Life is so unfair,giving money to those who didn’t deserve it like mrs Theresa and her two first child huh,how could get treat me like that,have they forget I’m human like them with same parts and they’re now behaving as God?”I said and clean the tears in my eyes
I take another bus and arrives at the market

I sigh
“I think the uniform is share in school!”I said and stretch
I walks happily home

“Just said your girl and you said nothing!”I said
He stands up as his face so red form blushing and walks back in,side
He open his door ,walks in and look back slightly
“Good night,mom”he said
I smiles
“Gudnite son!”I said to him
I too walk in,side my room,close the door and fall so tired on bed then sleep off
In this life,never let us use what others didn’t have to bully them cos it today we sees,no one knows tomorrow
Someone who’s poor today can arrive in total money tomorrow and the rich become pauper
Have you ever see that it possible that the pauper cross the rich way and become rich like it magics
And the rich cross the pauper and become total penniless
But it funny in this our world,the wealthy oppress the rich,the rich oppress the poor and the poor oppress the wretched…
Don’t let us be like that,let’s us all make a change dears
