Crash (Drinking And Driving) Poem by Brett Roberts

An instant where your vision turns to white.
A racing mind starts to accelerate.
On a dark silent night.

Fast, are the thoughts.
Slow, is your life.

One,
Two,
Three.

A violent blow,
Your head hit’s the dash.
It is the end of show.

Overturned, side to side, sitting upside down.
The life belt, cuts in your side.
A tragic ride, you could of said no.

Fear enters your mind.
Leaving just as fast as it came.

An angel hovering over head. Closes your passengers eyes.
Realization hits you straight in your face.
Why did I drink and drive.

Blood dripping from your brow.
Mixing with the tears from your eyes.
A distinct taste.

It’s the devils alcohol.
Drunk, as he drinks your mistakes.

Rewind to back to the time.
Put the keys back.
You won’t commit this crime.

Not tonight, not ever.
Don’t drink and drive.
