Shattered Innocence

Title: Shattered Innocence

Pedestrians navigating life’s lane,
Heart-wrenching tragedy etched in pain,
A fateful New Year’s morn in dread,
Unforeseen chaos, innocence shed.

Throbbing hearts now burdened with sorrow,
As lives lost on streets of tomorrow,
A collision, a darkness beyond compare,
Scattered debris, souls left in despair.

Grim reality, dreams shattered in flight,
Lives abruptly extinguished, fading light,
Aching hearts mourn the lives that were lost,
Forever changed, innocence’s cost.

In the aftermath, questions arise,
Answers elusive, pain in disguise,
A plea for justice, truth to unfold,
To heal the wounds that remain untold.

May the fallen find solace and peace,
Their memory, a haunting release,
Let us unite, stand strong, listen, and pray,
For those whose lives were taken away.
