The Color Of Love II
Andre hung from a rope tied to a tree's branch, a noose around his neck. His hands twitched spasmodically, a reflex reaction to the recent severing of his spinal cord. His otherwise limp, still body swayed to and fro in the slight breeze, his toes pointing downward. Several men on horseback rode around hooting and jeering, shaking their fists in exultation. I knew they were the same men who'd burned the cross in our front yard, although they hadn't even bothered to disguise themselves this time. Unable to move, nor even scream, I gasped in horror...

The price of freedom
Have you ever wondered what Pakistan is? If not, consider today that Pakistan is a bargain of interest for some people who are only interested in their own affairs. For some, this country is a source of fame or wealth, whose stomachs are about to explode, yet they are tearing it up like donkeys and their lust is not going away. For some, this country is a long story of deprivation, fulfilling the days of life with aspirations on which life has been made difficult. This country has definitely given something to everyone but no one has given anything to Pakistan but never even thought about it. There are those whose necks are so thick that they could not turn around despite their efforts. If Pakistan had not been formed, they would have stood in line for hours to get a wage from a Hindu. Praise be to God. Today we are breathing in the open air. I did not give this country to us. No one put it in a saucer.

To him, it seemed as if this was a premature and uncalculated decision because he saw himself as a lackluster government employee toeing the line for a bunch of political opportunists.
