Tragedy On Tom-Jones Street .

Mother cooks and breaks hungry stomachs, after a long day of earning a pay . She waits for the kids to sleep and not peep; then walks-out to do a night-shift  on the street . No one notices as she prowls, her husband too drunk to even pry .

The eldest daughter follows mom, until she sees her on some truck . " Maybe it's a friend " so she thought, I like the shoes that she has bought .

Daughter goes back to the house; and finds the shack so red with fire . " Where's little brother " she screamed in grief . He burnt with father the crazy thief .

" Mother, mother where are you ? " Then she jumps into the fire . Mom comes back after a great service, so happy that she's going to make a miracle on thanks giving  with the little she had ! New recipes streaming her head, 'til all her braincells got fried by the tragedy .

Eventhough she had tried, the burden was too heavy for the husband to bear . Being a loafer hurts a lot, her man was witness to that experience, so he thought he could die . And rid himself of the load .

Mother all lonely and crying aloud,  her tears falling in abound . She töok her life for there was nothing to live for anymore . Atleast they'll be happy in heaven now .
