X marks the spot Where a young child had stood, Enjoying his friends company as only A young child could. X marks the spot Where the child laid dying, Medics there to save his life, Desperately trying. X marks the spot, From which the crowd were kept, The child’s mother who broke through And uncontrollably wept. X marks the spot Where the ambulance came The police taking measurements Photographing the stain. X marks the spot Where the piles of flowers were left, Where the moving tributes were made From those now bereft. X marks the spot Where the funeral procession slowed Where a community’s grief In rivers now flowed. X marks the spot Where the young child was struck By a man on a mobile In charge of a truck. X marks the spot Where a quick call was made The cost of this phone call, Extravagantly paid.
