GAS YAWA, YAWA GAS (ARTICLE)

*********** GAS YAWA, YAWA GAS ***********
The bus shambled along the heavy traffic on a bright sunny day. The passengers were all lost in the worlds in their hands- some ipaded their faces while others had their eyes salivating over black berries…… except for him.

He sat at the back of the bus, head thrown back, a small pouched belly protruding, nostrils flaring, spittle at boiling point bubbling at the corners of his mouth, throat rending a growling ballad- he was deep in sleep.

A trailer zoomed past the bus, dragging a tsunami of black cloud in its wake, causing the bus to be eclipsed for a few seconds. At the T-junction ahead, a street side bakery is causing stomach quakes with the smell of baking bread. The snout of the huge generator spouted blue carbon into the air, which filtered into the bus.

Their only reactions to the pollution were waves of handkerchiefs to ward off gaseous cancers in foetal formations- still they fed from their screens.
Finally, the bus squeezed out of the traffic build up and picked up speed.

Just then , the sleeping man roused half-eyed from his sweltering slumber, grunted, lifted a buttock, released it and went back to sleep.

Forty five seconds later, the handkerchiefs could not wave it away, androids and blackberries lost hypnotic control of their hosts and curses rained on an innocent anus.

Question: Why do we indulge the big criminals and curse the little ones?
