DOWN ON BENDED KNEES

Ojo thought lies are ways of telling others how brave you are. He was good at telling lies, manipulating people for his advantage. He kept this act for long time and would give himself an accolade anytime he successfully fraud a friend. He would enter into his room and praise himself. One day nemesis caught him in a bus as he was trying to steal a phone from a sleeping passenger's pocket. The passenger knew what was happening but pretended as if he knew nothing. When they got to a bus stop, all the passengers came down from the bus and the sleeping man put on his cassock about entering to St. James Catholic Church that was opposite the bus stop. Ojo looked back from where he was trying to run and saw that the sleeping man was a priest. He quickly ran to the front of him, knelt down and started confessing what he did inside the bus. I was going for 8am mass on that Sunday; I saw Ojo on his knees and ran to the scene down on my bended knees and pleaded that he confess all the other sins he has committed to the priest.
