four smiles,
two adults,
two adolescents,
picture glaring
like a facsimile of truth,
everyone wondered,
after that tragic day,
how did those smiles come
from those faces
one shot, two
bye bye truth

How sad! This is very deeply emotional...strong imagery of life's changed forever...moving words in brevity...
