He was eating cooked beans in a polythene bag...with so much ecstasy on his face. I asked him to show me how he ate it and he sucked it lovingly out of the bag.
When I thought I had taken the second (and final) picture, he demanded that I take another.This (above) is his own chosen pose.
He chose this one too. Oh 'mehhhhn' the happiness on his face! Sadly, when Yaw was gone, I was told that he had a 'mental condition' but was going/growing untreated.
I thought of how many of us 'ghost' around our worlds unhappy with all the blessings that we have. In five minutes, Yaw showed me how much he already had of the commodity so many chase without success.
My favorite is the last picture. Funny kid.
ReplyDeleteThe glee on his little face is so beautiful,one would never know the darkness that lurks behind.
ReplyDeleteLook at him, so happy to show off poses :-)
