Texting and Driving Collide

Tragedy struck Didn't see that truck Was traveling way too fast Didn't feel that blast Crashed around the bin Left a pile of tin Used the jaws of life Other driver wsn't coming home to his wife Hope his family can forgive me I lost control and couldn't see Wrapped around a tree He didn't see me Never had a chance Didn't make it to that dance Happened within a blink Wasn't any time to react or think Crossed right over that center line Blinding was that bright burning sunshine There just wasn't enough time Couldn't stop on a dime Life was way to brief Left behind so much heartache and grief Wished I could have paused a moment before it all occured I'd called to say I love you and your voice would be the last thing that I heard Hope my family can forgive me I should of slowed down so I could see Wasn't wearing a seatbelt, another fact Flew out the windshield on impact Shouldn't have been texting while I'd drive If I hadn't been so absorbed maybe we'd both still be alive

This poem gives a message about the dangers of driving. It was told in a distressful tone and gave all the elements of danger. It makes it seem like a dangerous event full of different turns, so great job!

Thank you, Ibidun! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately alot of accidents that occur could have been preventable. There are a lot of dangers and risks with every day driving as it is without adding other factors such as increased speed and cell phone use among other various distractions and elements. Best wishes!
