A beautiful day brighten by a blue clouds
The smile of the sun lighten by its rays
Happily walking on the pavement of the road
Watching diffferent vehicles that over crowd the roads
My eyes are catching a little boy try to cross the road
and knocked by a vehicle and thrown down to the street
Rushing to him and holding him in my hands
He was crying for his mother with stricken fear
My heart was broken in to pieces with sad and sorrow
Waited for ambulance that took long way to come
Looking at the sky and asking God to save this innocent child
Then I saw his mouth tremble followed by blood oozing
He died in my arms without seeing his loving mother
I could not hold my emotion any more, my tears rolled down
The driver of the vehicle was in drunken state and watching
Will he allow his own son to die like this way on the road
Will he remember this day and think everyone as his sons
Is there any difference between criminals and him?
