Curse

Tires squeal for purchase The rain slicked road denies The rage of metal screaming Shattering glass implodes Strobes of light flashing Red and blue display Tangled mass of steel Dead upon arrival You stand there oblivious Eyes red and staring The cause of the destruction It doesn’t even faze you Weaving there so numb and stupid An unlit cigarette in your lips Hands shaking like jittery birds Your mouth moves dumbly You have no excuse No care no caution It’s all your fault You pop your pills with alcohol A thief, a murderer, callous jerk Blood on your hands with no remorse You don’t even realize what you’ve done Ruined lives with a reckless mind You took them fast The red light ignored Even when you hit You had no sense of wrong You’ll go to jail Three hots and a cot Maybe get clean, maybe be saved But you’ll never really pay The system will set you free To ride the roads again Drunk or sober you’ll drive Forgetting those wasted lives. But I will not forget I curse you with bitter breath Your life to be an endless hell And I give you an infallible memory.
