The Fate Phantom
The red sedan sped past
As two police cars followed fast
My jaws dropped in awe
As my eyes witnessed the chase
The three cars swayed from side to side
As drivers tried not to slide
And as the road burst with dust
they disappeared to the last
It did'nt surprise me
Though it was such of a scary kind
and so did i continue with my journey
as thoughts imprisoned my mind
If fate does draw a path
How many will escape?
whom will be willing to bribe?
and which is the shortcut to evasion?
A few miles and i was on the scene
The red sedan down on its keel
So different from one had see
Crushed and ripped apart
Of course he didn't escape the fate
It caught him on the throat
with a piece of windscreen glass
His neck halfway cut
The four shocked police officers
sat on their car's bonnet
wiping blood from their heads
They had escaped the tragedy
Yet their fate was waiting
