Voices From the Past

I can hear voices
 Voices from the past
 But, only when I’m driving
 When I’m driving fast
 
“It’s the wind”, said the doctor
 “Or a breech in a seal”
 “Go home and put your feet up”
 “Or go out for a meal”
 
So, I took the doctor’s advice
 And intended to go home
 I buckled up my seatbelt
 Switched off my mobile phone
 
Then I turned the ignition
 This made the engine roar
 But, as I started driving
 The voices came once more
 
I could hear the voices
 Couldn’t tell what they were saying
 So, I put my foot down
 The car started swaying
 
Suddenly, I hear them clearly
 These voices from the past
 They say “climb up from the wreckage”
 “And join us at long last”

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
