Blowing In The Wind....

I was listening to the above song (sung by Bob Dylan). It has a lovely & haunting melody...
The second verse goes like this:

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?

How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?

How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?

Chorus: The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind....

Then I thought about the Form 1J student who died on Sunday night's motorbike accident, and his brother who is seriously injured. Even though they were in the right of way, they must have gone very fast.

Earlier this year, another Form 1 student (a girl) was involved in a serious motorbike accident. Luckily she is now okay. After her accident, the school warned students to be careful when riding motorbikes, and to always wear crash helmets.

Every year there are lots of accidents involving students on motorbikes. Why do some parents allow their young children to ride motorbikes??? Especially along a dangerous stretch of road like Jalan Kluang ? Traffic is heavy. The students are young, many throw caution to the wind and like to show off, like to speed. A lot of them don't wear crash helmets...

How many accidents must it take till they know.....
That too many schoolchildren have....

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind....
