But their little lights were snuffed out With all the world to see. No fault of their own; They did nothing wrong. But still they received no reprieve. Just shortened lives As TV viewers watched live; And wondered, Why? Why did four little children Have to die? A watery death where they Were thrown away and abandoned to lie. But there’s a happy ending to all The news stories; One that could not be told. About four little children Growing up in a place where No one ever grows old. (An anonymous poem from a retired newsman.)
