Synthesis

It’s another horror

Transcendental

At a cross road

After patience

Was violated

By a speeding car

Now an accident.

There’s a new death

A black spot

To freshen statistics

Not an infidel

Or a petrol head

An infant child.

The police clear up

Traffic flows

Towies agree

Tragedy mutes

Territorial wars.

A day is done

A painful funeral

Relatives attend

Hearts are broken

Time abandons

Years to mourn.

A cross is mounted

Flowers adorn

Stop signs await.

When faith fails

Tragedy its renewal

Better than God.
