Wrongfully wheel with wanton wills which wastefully works
By Author
In the aftermath of his tragic fate
When adding two plus two is too late
I don't understand drunk drivers
Why risk it all and leave survivors
Now he's resting at a funeral home
Lifeless because of a unwise syndrome
Yet yesterday he's weaving on

The Tears of Mother Rose
Sirens, sirens, that is all I hear
why, oh why, did you have to drink the beer?
Don't you know that drinking and driving kills?
you have stayed out of the stills.
Can you hear the cry?
Those are the survivors of those that die.
Shattered glass, the sound of crushed metal.
Mother Rose has lost her petal.
Dreams shattered and lost,
who will

Won’t you come to the table and nibble
Honey I don’t want

It was all I had time for
on my way to French Club
I was always in a rush then
considering my future
what more I could do to stand out
on college and scholarship
applications
hoping to escape the poverty
that had plagued

Grandma's Prayers
Chems ponders his need for a taste; none of his regular pick-uppers are afoot.
He really wants his fifth, and he knows he is not supposed to drive, but….
Who will know? It is only a few miles to the liquor store.
You are not that drunk, he tells himself. You need a taste. He looks at

Ddd (Drunk Driving Day)
smoke
drink
don't think
woosh
cruise
keep drinking booze
blurry light flash
bash
crash
sober
no more hangover
went to far over
could i live
live infecting innocent lives
washing away hopes and dreams
how can i be looked up to
how can i be a father
knowing i killed my own daughter
car wreckes are the #1 cause of deaths
25% of those are drunk drivers please be
safe and save a life
