Religion Is A Joke (Part 14/100)

A child gets seriously crippled in accident, caused by a serious drunkard.

His mother dreads a future of devotion and servitude to a needy cripple, who's broken image brings her to tears. 

With convenience as a focus, a part of her believes that they would both be blessed by his death.

The child lives but is paralysed and unable to speak. He wishes to die.

His mother keeps him alive, sacrificing the rest of her life for his, with suppressed thoughts of what his situation will be when she dies.

Her faith in her God grows as her faith forces him to persist in a living hell, where he would rather die and his mother is locked in a prison.

Poem: Man Without Power (Short)

A man without power...
without the power to protect
without the power to avenge
without the power of threat
without the power to provide
without the power of justice
...Is that really a man?
