Eddie Driggers Poet Free verse

WAKE UP!!!!

In the echoes of the night the one lonesome sound of a train not knowing where it’s bound 
It rolls on past the towns the rivers and the bends around corners unseen
As danger lays in wait anticipating contemplating its next move along the cold steel rails that’s bound for heaven or bound for hell only time will tell 
The warning signs are there the whistle is sounding  “ DANGER DANGER”  but it  keeps on rolling this steam locomotive 
WAKE UP WAKE UP one lone voice calls out in the night your headed for DANGER but it  keeps on rolling this steam locomotive 
On down the rails it rolls  when once again the whistle is sounding ‘DANGER DANGER ‘ as the one lone voice calls out in the night WAKE UP WAKE UP  your headed for DANGER 
Now is the last chance who is it at the helm 
check with your conductor 
Is it Satan headed for Hell
Or Jesus Headed for Heaven

Rowena Velasco August 9, 2025 at 12:01 AM Hey Eddie, I really felt the urgency in your poem — that train rolling nonstop, the warning cries, it all comes through loud and clear. I like how you keep the tension building and make it feel like a wake-up call we all need sometimes. Strong and straightforward, great job!
