Notes About The Poem

Resultado de imagen para walking on the road images

Prey of Neglect

Green grass with morning dew as walking
In the roadside after my car was robbed
By a thief that put a gun behind my neck

When I stopped in a red light semaphore
Adrenaline rushed as electricity through veins

Drearing that it would be my last day on Earth
Praying mentally that the robber had mercy of me

Giving the car keys and leaving the car to him
Shocked by the event that made an invisible impact
Started walking through the road to seek assistance 

Cell phone was taken simultaneously with the red car
Staying incommunicated to call the police officers
Walking to a nearby gas station ahead in the horizon

The car was found burned in an isolated corn field
That day would never be erased from my mind 
Some events leave an invisible imprint in your life
