The pretty young teenager got on the bus
on her way to school.
Thinking about the exam she was to take
glad to see her friends.
No bad feelings or thoughts just talking
but somebody was stalking!
There was one watching her and brooding
as the vehicle moved.
Stood suddenly lurching forward at the girl
in his hand a knife!
Focussed on his act the weapon pierced skin
shocking events would begin!
The driver stopped hearing terrible screams
as the murderer escaped.
Forcing open the doors he then sprinted away
friends and strangers united.
Some paralysed with fear others tried to slow
the pumping blood flow!
Paramedics and police on the scene in minutes
clearing the passengers.
But even with professional help could not save
this precious young life!
One light of a generation had been cruelly taken
everybody was shaken.
The suspect was caught an hour later lurking
acting suspiciously nearby.
Apprehended and taken in for interrogation
waiting for more information.
Then declaring he was of unsound mind
not saying if the maniac kind!
Those questions that are always being asked
might one day be answered!
Dear child rest in peace.
The Foureyed Poet.
