Chapter 2: Turn Around
He really didn't have time for this. He can hear her trying to call him back. He can hear her trying to catch up to him. He turned around and looked at her face. He could see that she had been crying. She looked desperate. He wanted to get it over with, Private would be home any minute now.
Why didn't he stop? She couldn't catch up to him, so she yelled. He turned around. She hadn't lost all of her faith, not yet. "Sir.." Her voice was fading away by the look in his eyes.
Why did she bother him? Couldn't she see that he had more important matters to do now? He looked down at her feet. Her bare feet were covered with blisters. She tried to catch up with him again, but she couldn't walk. He had to admire her strength and determination. But he really hadn't the time to help her. She had to deal with herself. He had to go home now.
She just stared at his face. His blue eyes were looking at her, but she knew that he wasn't about to help her. He was just like all the other people walking by. Still it was her only chance.
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying
Think twice
Because it's another day for you and me in paradise
