Phone
he was buried today
had along lines of cars
no more will he feel the pains
from all of his scars
Flowers on each side
Where his casket lay
Lowering him down
As her heart mourns today
Every one comes to her
Her eyes swollen with grief
Saying how they are so sorry
As they slowly leave
His mother was hospitalize
it was to much for her brain
she just couldn't bear that she
won’t see her only son again
His life was taken away
At such a very young age
By a driver on her phone
Checking her face book page
It was just last week
She was in her home cloths
In the kitchen making dinner
Grill chicken and Mash potatoes
When she ran out of ketchup
So he leave to go alone
Then he was hit by a girl
Distracted by her cell phone
When he did not return
She knew some thing was wrong
When she got the call
she fell to the ground
Her father told her leave here
Come back home to Trinidad
But right now she’s so confuse
She lost the only one she ever had
Now she has to be strong
And learn to be a survivor
Now that all from her life was taken
By the habits of a careless driver
A message to all the careless drivers
Who are driving while on the phone?
Stop now before you’re responsible
For Some one not reaching back home
