Snuffed out Star

I hear that he was very talented At the Elite schools he attended With flying colors his exams he passed His parents expectations he surpassed And a new record in his school he kept His future looked very bright Which was only right Afterall, is it not right for the bright? That their future be bright? And that is the expectation, right? However, it was not to be so And with a heavy sigh they all wonder How life could change so much so, And in a horrified fascination they ponder How it could have happened so. For the bright was no longer As the light grew dimmer and fainter The parents held hope no longer As with heavy hearts Their dreams from them escaped For their son was no more Torn from their grasp mercilessly A young bud recklessly destroyed Its life carelessly tossed away As dust in the wind.
