Lawyer I wanted to kill by Samuel Magombo

Samuel Magombo Writes A LAWYER I WANTED TO KILL

The only time I had considered the option of taking human life was when I realized that a certain lawyer had betrayed me. Not only did that lawyer sell off the case to my opponents, he also swindled me big time. This lawyer cleansed me of every penny, rendered me into pauperism and then sold the case to my opponents.

My world crumbled, the only reasonable thing that my mind thought of was suicide. But as much as I was going to die, I resolved that I would not die alone. The lawyer would go first.

I did not kill that lawyer, but every time I saw him, I literally smelt his blood. In my mind it was never a question of 'if' but a matter of 'when' I would have him bumped off.... For few years I had been thinking of the best methodology, timing and all that. I was convinced that eliminating him from the face of this society was an act of civic duty and a form of justice that I had no other way of receiving.

I do not know of any other similar emotional pain equal in intensity and length to the pain of being betrayed by your own lawyer. It is thus my conviction that lawyers who deliberately aid miscarriage of justice for their personal gain; have to be weeded from society.

However, yesterday I saw him at Gateway Mall. He looks 80% dead. The swag is gone, his lips are peeling off, his skin in generously punctuated with black spots, house-flies follow him as if queueing in anticipation of his decomposition. His gait is sombre.... dude is gaunt, tired and anorexic.

I was amazed at the strength of his voice, the determination of his words.... towards the end of the conversation, he was like: - "Amwene, I screwed you up ....... But look at me, am a mess. I do not want to ask you this, I won't ask for your forgiveness, but I want you man, to know that I really sorry and sad for what I did......I guess everything else...."..(then he chocked, coughed and spat want looked like a huge ball of brownish but blood tainted mucus)....….

...". I am sure everything else that I am going through right now, I deserve it, I messed too many lives.…' He said.

Well, I have not forgiven him yet, but I heard and accepted his apology. Maybe in the future, maybe I will forgive him, I take my time, and surely, I am not in hurry.

The good news is that I do not have to kill him myself. That would be a worst of effort and resources.
