A Bus Tragedy

A tragedy occurred was the news
A young boy died in a bus crash
He was with other students too
When the bus got a tire flat

To send your child on a field trip
And have it end his life is insane
Parents hearts forever ripped
Finally they released his name

Maybe seat belts on busses may
Void a future tragedy one day
But that would cost the state
Likely they won’t want to pay

So they will keep old bus fleet
While in crashes kids are dying
Just as they don’t value life
Look at the parents suing for rights
