Screeching tires
Halting onlookers
Camaraderie
Is dubious
What’s beneath
Limbs were strewn apart
Flesh of a mother and a toddler
Government officials
Broke down to their knees
The beggar they’re chasing
Was gone in a split seconds
Surreal
Now they have deceased
A tragic ending
Was it a life’s lesson?
Who could bear?
To look at the scene
Paradigm?
I swear
It’s not supposed to be seen
A toddler
In tact
In his mother’s cuddle
Albeit mother’s strewn
All over
A bundle
yusof-Your poem is deep and well expressed. Your imagery is great, and gave me shudders while I read your poem. It has a great impact. You have the ability to write very strong poetry, my friend. Katherine
Nice use of ambiguity to create an emotional response good work thanks
Very nice poem. Enjoyed it very much. Take a look at Athul and Akhil who are young poets. But their poems are super.
this s a good writing hon, but it made me cry...tragic ending..
you let your feelings go to show and make people feel the pain and heart break of this poem
So heartbreaking, but all too real. Great job of putting down the pain. Best Wishes, Marilyn
This was a clear recitation of a tragedy all too common with a common question attached. Let the question be asked again and again, until it is answered. GW62
