In streets where shadows darkly fall,
A tale emerges, chilling all.
Parents lavish, children take,
A path of ruin they both make.

A boy, too young, with power wild,
In a supercar, just a child.
A reckless joyride, fate’s cruel twist,
Two lives snuffed out in morning mist.

The world now watches, breaths held tight,
As justice stumbles in the night.
The boy, set free, a public cry,
A nation’s grief, as echoes fly.

How came we to this woeful place,
Where children speed in reckless chase?
With parents’ wealth, indulgence blind,
And innocence left far behind.

No reprimand, no lessons taught,
Lives lost with no justice sought.
The media roars, demands grow fierce,
For laws that strike where hearts are pierced.

Both parents and their children stand,
To face the law’s unyielding hand.
For every crime, a price to pay,
No leniency, no easy way.

For every child who grips the wheel,
Parents must show the gravity, real.
The weight of choices, every deed,
The cost when rules of safety bleed.

So let the laws be stern and clear,
To guard the ones we hold most dear.
With trials firm, as adults face,
Ensuring justice finds its place.

And to the parents, heed this plea,
Guide with love, responsibly.
For in your hands, the future molds,
A world where true accountability holds.

Indulgence fuels this reckless trend,
But justice must the madness end.
For lives once lost, cannot return,
In sorrow’s flame, let lessons burn.

Exemplary punishment must be meted out,
To perpetrators and parents, without a doubt.
A precedent set, so others see,
The grave consequences, the stern decree.

Both child and parent, side by side,
Must face the truth they cannot hide.
For in this stance, the message stays:
All must answer, all must pay.
