If anyone had ever told you that you would be in Jail at the age of 15, would you have believe? or perhaps you might have even curse such a person for wishing or declaring such about you.
But this is it, it happened anyway didn't it? Can you take away the fact that it did? No you can't right? Now do you believe anything is possible? and that some things are not entirely impossible? Well you should because the truth is that you don't have any other option not to.

So If ever you were told about the unfair things that happens in life or could happen, you should nod your head and just know that most times devils don't have horns and are not mostly dressed in blacks but perhaps in this case they are and except otherwise, most of us will still see them as the devils which we truly think the earned themselves.

15 IN JAIL

What was his crime? Funny, weird, crazy and as annoying as it may sound; Just chilling out at their front door at around 10 pm in the night.
Was he found stealing? NO!
Was he with guns? NO!
Did he break into someone's house or shop? NO!
Did he in anyway have some kind of a suspicious mask on? Of course no.
NO! NO! and NO! he didn't do any of those.
The poor little boy was only out their door receiving God's free gift of nature, Cold breeze along side two adults who may happened to have been family, relatives or just friends, who knows?

Boom! came the devil's incarnates ( I don't really mind calling them that) argue with yourself.
Down their truck, without any form of explanation or what wrong those guys did, forcefully dragged into their vehicles all in the name of some suspicious movement like what in the world?
What movement exactly? Seating outside your house, receiving some fresh air is now termed suspicious movement? what will we not hear in this country from this malicious set of people?
What false accusation will they not imposed on us just so they could satisfy their urge of a few penny or kobo, how pitiful and sad.

And there! thrown into a cell for a crime he didn't even commit.
15 years old already seeing and experiencing what life in jail is.
What was your crime, the other falsely accused jailers asked, and the poor boy who knew nothing about why he was even there in the first place explained what happened to them.
How much more can a country fail their citizens?
What more do we have to see or hear before we accept that we are in trouble with a nationality we once proudly stated.
Could things get any worst? We are even yet to know.

BRIGHT FUTURE
Should I even mention that? I bet we all want that and will really love it to be a bright one.
How bright can a future get with a failed country with mostly people who don't even care about our future?

Starting with the 15 years old jailer boy who had a test to write in school the next day. But how was he supposed to do that inside a dark, dirty and smelling cell?
How was he supposed to reach out to his friends or teachers in school?
Apparently that's an F (fail) for him in that particular test and subject, except the teachers and school authorities are considerate enough which I doubt in such a country as flawed as this one.
Who helped the poor boy fetch that grade? The Devil's Incarnates or A Failed Country?

The End?

No one knows because we don't always live to tell all the story.
It already felt like an end for the poor boy that did nothing wrong.
I mean who wouldn't feel so wronged about such action?
And even if and when he is finally out of jail which I believe would be done sooner, the memories would still stick like a wild fire and each times he reminisce the incident, all he may remember is a country that failed his people in words and in conduct.
And no one can tell me that this wasn't outrageous. This can only be the highest form of it.



I may never get over this and I wish I could tell those devils to their face that perhaps the world would have been better off if we all were just ordinary citizens, cause rather than stopping and fighting crimes, they are busy creating fake ones for their selfish gains and interest.
