Road Rage Revisit Manurewa New Zealand

Memories of him are still there upon Weymouth Road his sullen white cross nailed to the old Kauri symbolize by countless layers of uncaring street wise graffiti, while burdensome scars revealed by heavy metal grow faint and the old Rose i placed withered and faded in the over grown yet still blood stained grass, a monument still there for the few of us those that cared those with lives full of guilt 'when you mate ran out of life number nine!' © Harry J Horsman 2013

What a poem you penned here. It is sad, but it happens. Here When someone dies in an accident, They always put up a cross in the place the person died. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

I love this but I sure hope it's fiction for the contest. My favorite lines are 3 and 4, you just know how to effectively conjure up the images!
