Scream



I woke up to a scream. A scream unusual and unheard in both the magnitude of the pain behind it and the empathy that it aroused in me.

I just couldn't resist it. The baby and its mother were too feeble to be not noticed. I wished, I could lend a helping hand to that family. The family in which, the mother was half-bare and the baby was bare-foot. And the whole clan following the two in the streets of Burkina Faso (A sub-Saharan African country), was a replica of the two. |Under Nourished| |Half Naked| | Bare Foot|.

All of 'em !

This is an anecdote. There are a million such individuals if not clans, all around the globe but then, definitely, there are thousands of those lucky individuals as well who've the means to suffice their stymies.
I'm stepping forward. I suppose, this scream beckons me. |My Career| |My Aspirations| |My Goals| are one thing but I can't smile if I'm not ensured, not to wake up with a scream anymore.
 I know the onus is all on me and on other lovely people around me who never dread to see change. A change would mean, |A Change in Mindset| | A Change in Mentality| and |A Change in Belief|.

I'm a graduate (Yes, I graduated today). I swear, that, |My Luxury| |My Lavishness| and |My Prodigy| would never be soothing to me. If I hear that scream again, I'd jump off my window and strive to bring about change.
Yeah just that one smile . . . And I'll be content !
