Humanity burnt at the Stake*
A child did a car crush
Then sped away in rush
Unbelievably callous
Satan must be jealous
Horrific and shameful
Disgusting and hateful
Accidents do take place
But what utter disgrace
The convoy moved on
In a flash it was gone
Sympathy thou art fled
When that child bled
Blood tainted the floor
One life was no more
And life progressed on
Dusk turned into dawn
My soul remained awake
Humanity burnt at the stake
