A mother and a toddler
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
