THE WILD ONE.

Yes, he was an only child; One they say, was born to be wild. It started from the age of five; He would catch earthworms and eat them live. His parents were indulgent and not the best; But even their patience was put to the test. Many were the pranks over the years; Poor parents - they couldn't believe this child was theirs. He was known by all as 'devil may care'; His family had never seen him shed a tear. He bought himself a motorbike; Then styled his hair in colorful spikes. The bike he rode with awful speed; Especially when he was smoking weed. He lost a leg in the second of two crashes; Even then, no tears were seen on his lashes. As soon as the time to do it was right; He bought a new leg then got into a fight. He continues to ride with reckless speed; Warnings from family he refuses to heed.

Good peom! What a headache for the parents. I guess he has to learn to face the consquences from his own actions.

Indeed, lets hope he eventually learns to slow down.

@Kandae11 Oh he will get there one day, when his body could no longer keep with the wild lifestyle.

Parents must be having a tough time handling this...I hope he soon understands.
