This poem is dedicated to Howard Hillsdon and three other young boys, who died in a tragic car accident on 28th May 2005. My heart goes out to everybody involved in this tragedy...
So sad and so painful,
A life has disappeared...
So sudden and so shocking,
One evening can be...
A life taken without a reason,
A son gone... and it can't be justified
Frustration, pain and even anger is
What's left for us to feel...
How could this have happened?
So young yet and so naive
It feels so unfaire...
Almost as if we have been cheated by life... by fate... by the stars in the sky...
Tears fill my eyes as it won't add up in my mind...
Four lives taken... four bright sons...
Irreplaceable to this world
So much they had to live for...
Gone in a moment... in a crash.
Who to blame and who to comfort...
All seems unclear right now
Undoubtedly though... love can definitely be felt,
Love for all the children whose lives were cut short...
May you all rest in peace...
Wherever you may have gone...
I hope you're looking down with a smile onto this unjustified world...
May God bless your souls...
R.I.P. Our thoughts will forever be with you.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
