Shattered Lives

Family, businessmen, and children
People on their way home or for a cruise,
Suddenly becoming a tragety
Hear bridge collaped on the news.

SOme fall into the river below
Others stuck under concrete too,
This happened so rapidly
No time to plan what to do.

There's screams and people crying
Panic soon fills the air,
Rescue crew's quickly respond 
Others try calculating how manys there.

As loved one's still gather
Emergency crew's work night and day,
For its another tragic event
For answers the people pray.
