Poem Title:
Poem
You have a choice To fall prey to that demonic disease And stay victim held captive Where it keeps you with ease You have a choice To follow static conclusion And exist under asphyxiation from High powered inanimate pollution The tone's about to change You'll hear it in my voice If you decide to listen Is no one else' choice It sours me to know I might not make it home alive Because you thought it was okay Okay to drink and drive Crash could happen any time Your drunk behind the wheel I don't think you realize Your need for help is real It's a small town I've shared the road with you Crash could happen any time My baby's with me too That poison has no judgment bounds For distance or for time He could be eating ice cream When you commit the crime We could be walking in the park Or at a T-Ball game Your truck would wreck our bodies Maybe send us out in flame Four years ago A sunny evening, late in Spring Alyssa home from school Dad was doing some grilling I saw my drunk neighbor Crash and knock a power pole She was in her golden Chevy Cruze I was in my home She'd made it past the breathalyzer Even though she really stank You do too When you drink and drive your pick-up tank BANG! SNAP! Wires make three whistle whips Pole and wires from my home are scattered on the ground She was mad we called the cops Afraid of every siren sound Sara right behind her Coming home from work Without a snag she pulls into the drive But passers by still gawk and lurked You worry about your license Thank God that's all it takes Because when you choose to drink and drive You put yours and any life at stake You think you've heard it all And consequence is time to pass Please change your way of thinking To treat and heal your broken glass I believe in you That you have mind and spine Because innovation and knowledge appreciation Breed a special kind I think my song is done I hope you heard this friend You need to get some help And find your life again
