Darkness In The City Of Light

It is easy to think that life is infinite.
And easy to forget that it can end in an instant.
This is what happened to the innocent people,
Who on the 13th of the Eleventh 2015,
Had their lives cut short,
For no reason when they could have gone on.
They could have had children or made millions,
But no, they were killed mercilessly, by people they had never met or harmed.
Parents may now have no daughter or son and kids may be without a father or mum.
Their lives have been ruthlessly cut short-
By people who don’t care at all, about what they have done.
