Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Is Texting Worth Your Life

I am irritated that people do not drive any more
They are so busy texting, they do not get the big picture.
They look up intermittently, but not often enough
Not realizing that every truck and car is a potential weapon
Until one hits them head on
By then it may be too late
Is texting” I will be there in five” really that important?

Anne-Lise Andresen July 14, 2022 at 1:21 AM - Many accidents happen due to mobile use in the car, Caren ... sacrificing one's life for a text message is foolish - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Caren Krutsinger July 14, 2022 at 7:26 AM I see children texting in the car behind their wheels daily.

Gershon Wolf July 13, 2022 at 7:24 PM Answer: Of course, texting is that important. I'd rather be hit by a truck than possibly miss a text from my late step-sister -- hit by a bus while texting. lol. (P.S., I don't have a smartphone and I don't text. lol). Caren Krutsinger July 14, 2022 at 7:27 AM Exactly write Gershon.

Shirley Hawkins July 13, 2022 at 5:54 PM Good one, Caren. Do people use their phones more these days? I am sure that most of the calls are just idle chatter. Take care, Shirley Caren Krutsinger July 14, 2022 at 7:27 AM It is crazy how many have died texting "I will be there in....."

L Milton Hankins July 13, 2022 at 5:19 PM Not at all, Caren. Not at all! Caren Krutsinger July 14, 2022 at 7:27 AM It is so crazy to me.

Ann Foster July 13, 2022 at 4:22 PM So perfectly stated... a winner for all to hear and take to heart. Ann Caren Krutsinger July 14, 2022 at 7:28 AM I wish every child would realize how much more important driving is than texting while driving.
