Road Carnage
ROAD CARNAGE
It was on early Monday, when a car ran into a truck,
It ran into a stationery truck, and they had no luck,
It was a ghastly accident, the four died on spot,
“They all died drunk,” said the report.
The Monday incident, was still fresh in our minds,
When on Tuesday noon, a new one got into our minds,
There was a collision, eight injured, six died on spot,
“The driver was overtaking on a bend,” said the report.
The Tuesday incident, was not yet forgotten,
When on Wednesday evening, another one claimed ten,
It had lost control, downhill it rolled, and all died on spot,
“ It was over -speeding,” said the report.
It was a black Thursday, one to be remembered,
The kids were relaxed, who knew they were endangered?
The truck ran into their van, twelve innocent souls lost on spot!
“The truck’s breaking system had failed,” said the report.
Friday came in, and left not without a soul,
A pedestrian lost his soul,
He had looked left and right, then met his death on spot,
“Why had he avoided the fly over?” Questioned the report.
Saturday was here, it had rained heavily,
Bridges were swept away, and others wrecked badly,
A lorry was carried away, and three lost on spot,
“He was driving across the flooded road,” said the report.
It was Sunday afternoon, when a car hit an electric pole,
All wondered,” he just drove into a stationery pole!”
Two broke their spinal cord, one died on spot,
“A cell-phone was in the driver’s hand,” said the report.
Every moment of each day, a life is lost,
Before we recover, another soul is lost,
Not due to the state of our poor roads,
But due to the poor state of our heads.
