In quiet towns where shadows creep,
A nation's heart begins to weep.
Young lives taken, futures torn,
Families left to mourn.
In Southport's streets, a tragic day,
Innocence was swept away.
A dance, a song, a child's delight,
Shattered by a senseless fight.
Online platforms, weapons sold,
To the young, the lost, the bold.
TikTok's feeds with blades displayed,
A deadly game where lives are played.
Idris speaks, a clarion call,
Highlighting the systemic fall.
Youth services, a safety net,
Cut and broken, needs unmet.

Laws debated, changes made,
Age checks tightened, sales delayed.
Yet still the headlines, day by day,
Tell of lives lost in this way.
Communities in grief unite,
Seeking ways to end this blight.
Education, hope, and care,
To lift the young from dark despair.
May we find the strength to stand,
Hand in hand across the land.
To end the violence, heal the pain,
So no more lives are lost in vain.
