A Bullet
Bill Walker
wildbill6807@...

A bullet, a one shot. How many times in history has one shot changed
the course of history? We can't say, as maybe that was the way it
was written it was to happen. I can hear a lot of people saying old
Bill believes things is wrote out some where what is going to happen.
Some times yes I do believe that. I think there is a master plan,
but some of us don't follow the master plan. I really am not smart
enough, and I don't believe there is any one that is smart enough to
say other wise on what or what does not happen. I don't have a clue
if I will finish this yarn or not. I could drop dead or sick and
never finish it. Yesterday is history, today is now, tomorrow is a
maybe.

I remember things that happened, also read about things that is said
to changed the course of history. Just how can that be? Something
that happened to change history. It isn't history till it happens!
It is stupid to say something happened to change history. Can you go
back in history and undo last year? No I don't think so, what
happened is part of history.

Let me give you a few cases in point

42 years ago J.F.K was shot and killed. Did what happened changed
history? There was changes made sure, but history?

Our Civil War. General Stonewall Jackson shot and died from wounds
by some of his own soldiers. Did that changed history? Sure did,
with General Stonewall Jackson and General Lee at Gettysburg, them
damn Yankees would still be running. But General Jackson was gone,
God had need of him else where. What happened is part of history.
There is no changing a bad for a good. Same as changing a good for a
bad.

Lincoln, he went to the show, got shot and died from the wounds. Did
that changed history? No all it did was history. I am sure the now
re glued nation would have been much better with Lincoln instead of
in control of Stanton and radical republicans. But we got Stanton
and his gang of thugs in power. The new president was fighting for
his life, and hanging on by a string. HISTORY was not changed in no
way.

History is what happens, we can't not go back and rewrite it. We can
only think what history would be like if something had not happened.

Remember if Tinker had not stopped to visit the fire plug, he would
have ran the rabbit down. And we could have had a rabbit for dinner.
Dad gum it all. History!

THEY KEPT PLAYING THE POLICE AND THIEF GAME
By: Georgewaters Ojeigbe - Lagos, Nigeria gojiegbe@...

"Ah, ah, ah, what funny children these are?" I kept asking myself as I
watched them perform their origin film making.

"No, you have to die this time! You know that I died the other time
you shot
me but you are now refusing to die. If that is the case, I am not
going to
play again. Give me back the gun I lent to you!"

"No, I am not giving it back to you. Why should I die when I was not
ready
before you shot me! I told you before to hold on until I am ready to
play
but you did not listen to me. Okay, I am sorry. I will die when you
shoot
me again."

"Po, Po! Oya (okay), die now, I have shot you!"

"No, not so! Let me go and hide again so that you can find me but if
I find
you first, I will shoot you and you will have to dieoooo!"

"Okay, go and hide and I will find you!"

"Zam. kiah, kiah, kiah." About three boys and a little girl making
the
sound effect of a Jet Lee or Bruce Lee's film with their mouths, all
holding
different shape of sticks as their guns, they came from behind a fence
shouting and throwing themselves on the ground like marshal armies.
Some
had their sticks or rather their guns tucked into their knickers.
One of
the boys had his hung behind him just the way Rambo would do.
Another had
two sticks for himself meaning he is having two guns. Almost every
one of
them had stones in their pockets which they claimed are bombs. Well,
just
in a world of their own, on fantasy-island I guess.

"You are naughty. We have shot both of you. You are not dieing!"
The four
of them said to the two arguing Chinese film boss; they are always in
a
dreamland feeling like one Jackie Chan or James Bond in a movie.

The little girl's voice sounded weak as she tried to make a point in
the
midst of the under twelve years old boys. She seems to be about
eight or
nine years old. She came along with her elder brother to play this
game
called "POLICE AND THIEF (OLE ATI OLOPA)".

"Shut up! Who asked you the question?" one of the boys queries to her.

Bold enough, she raised her gun; a piece of firewood with a rope tied
to
both ends, hanging on her thiny shoulder, making her look like one of
the
members of the Ninja Turtle. She took a Chinese film pose, pointed
her
stick-gun at the boy, and as loud as she could, shouted "Po! Po! Po!"

The boy who she shot went against the rule of the game by refusing to
die.
Instead, he came forward, grabbed the girl's stick-gun, pulled it
away from
her shoulder, and threw it on the ground.

The girl raised her hand up, spread her fingers wide to do the waka
(shame)
sign at the boy.

"Ehnnn me.!? You are abusing my parents!" the boy remarked. He threw
himself on the girl.

Both girl and boy on the ground struggling while her elder brother
hastened
towards them in defence of his little sister.

The rest of the police and thieves rushed to separate the two thieves
struggling on the ground.

"Oh, what a poor girl" brother Georgewaters thought to himself as he
rushed
straight to the scene to calm the situation or rather to rescue Cat
Girl
from Hulk Hogan.

"Brother George, he slapped me!" "Brother George, she abused my
mother!"
These were complains I kept hearing from the different police and
thieve.

Well, I knew exactly what happened and knew what to do. I needed not
to
take side otherwise I might sound partial or look like a big fool
(broda
agba iya!).

Although, I had wanted to send them packing from my environment
because of
the rowdiness and noise they were causing but it dawned on me that
many
years ago I was in their shoes doing this same game called "Police and
Thief."

A game in which we kids would select our co-partners before going to
hide in
different places. We would hide in, or under a cupboard, back of a
door, in
old abandoned vehicles, or roll ourselves up in big bedspread.
Sometimes,
we would climb on high cupboards or put our tiny bodies in a big
empty water
drum. Well, just to keep ourselves from been found easily.

In the course of the game, the first to find is the first to shoot,
mostly,
it is the first to sound the gun shot effect; means a point on the
finder's
side. The person found has to pretend to be dead on the floor for
some few
minutes before getting up to continue the role of a police or thief
again.
Well, the one who shot you leaves the scene first before you could
make a
come back to life. What a game, but it is fun. Sometimes it ends
with real
nagging, argument and fighting that always paves way for a worried
adult to
put an end to the game by using the whip on the faking polices and
thieves.
A well started police and thief game usually ends up sadly.

My partially interrupting their game of police and thief opened to me
a
fresh memory of my childhood days. I realized some stupidity in such
games,
but, well it was just childhood fun which has been passed from one
generation to another generation. The game is now fast decaying due
to lots
of new fun devices such as computer/video games, parks, home video
films, TV
cartoon programs and maybe a little bit of school activities.
Notwithstanding some kids, still prefer this game.

I was able to reunite them back to their police and thief game. They
could
not have seen the reason why I reunited them back to their game of
police
and thief instead of discouraging them and they could not have known
or felt
my own childhood days because they were far from being born into this
world
then. Probably, in my days of playing this same game of police and
thief
with my peers, some adults might have remembered their own childhood.
Generation to generation the secret of our childhood lingers in our
hearts.
Some days will come when the same children I am talking about today
will
also realize of how they had once played their police and thief game.

After I settled them back to their play, they seem to be much more
reenergized as they all sprung up in unison as they dashed towards one
direction, after a little while to different hiding places. For the
next
few minutes, probably close to an hour I kept hearing different
sounds of
po, po, bam, bam, kua, kua. The most sophisticated sound made with
one
mount sounds like that of a riffle gun tra, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta.
Another
has his as piam, piam representing electric gun. For the poor little
girl
who later had another little girl joining her, she could only device
hers to
be the cheap po, po sound. Her other female colleague could not find
any of
her gun shot sound instead she kept running after them with one of her
sleepers missing from her leg and using her fingers made in the form
of a
pistol. The best she could sound was yo, yo. Later telling the
person "I
don tut you", meaning I have shot you. She never fell to die even
when the
whole gang shot at her at the same time, but she was not their center
of
attraction so they had no quarrel with her.

Some of these kids came hiding behind whispering to me with their
tinny
voice saying, "Brother George please do not let them see me." Hiding
behind
did not made any difference and the one they are hiding from already
have
seen them come behind me so what have I got hide.

Before the children could stop their game, it was for the reason that
the
sun had suddenly gone to bed leaving no room for sight. One after
the other
they started to leave for their different homes after the game.
After the
whole natural film set before me by these kids of faking gangsters had
stopped, I gathered myself to go indoor.

If you ever come to Nigeria and you see kids running up and down with
different kind of sticks designed in the shape of a gun just have it
in mind
that they are only having their fun in the style of police and
thief. You
can do them a favour by joining in the game of police and thief. Your
presence would encourage them the more.

I had a wonderful time watching the kids acting their wonderful film
of
which no auditioning, no rehearsal, no scripts were laid down for the
play
to commence. With all perfection and zealousness, these future leaders
played their game despite lack of the missing protocol before a film
is
shot. For me I had a wonderful memory brought back to me.

If I may say, it is not too late for me to still play this game of
police
and thief. I can play it with my wife to be right in our apartment.
You
can also play the same game of police and a thief with however you
wish to.
It can be with your husband, wife, children, grannies, relatives,
friends,
or your office boss but you can never play it with a real police or a
real
thief. All you need is a piece of item that looks like a gun (please
no
acceptance of real gun for safety sake). You can hide anywhere in your
restroom, bathroom, garage, wardrobe, and even in the car outside but
please
exclude the refrigerator and any big cooking pot. Finally, you have
to
adopt your style of shooting, the Po! Po! of a thing. giggling hard.
Enjoy.

THE END!

gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day

to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please
broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me

not whine and whimper over things I have no control

over. And it's the best response when I'm pushed

beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You

listen to my heart.

'The Things We Take For Granted'

The home we live in~
Do we thank God?
Some people have no place to live.
Some live in a hut made of mud or tin.

When we take a shower or bath~
Or wash dishes in the kitchen sink~
Do we thank God for our water?
Some people don't have water to drink.

When we sit down to eat~
Do we thank God for our food?
Do we pray for the hungry people
That everyone will have a few bites to eat.

When we get up in the morning~
Do we thank God for our health?
That we can walk, talk, hear and see.
Or do we take all of this for granted.


Christine
