Drunk Driving Poem by Denny Moonde

Engine raved, wheels spun, music blaring.
A darling to himself, speed daring.
Off he drove pedal to the metal
soon the ending would be fatal.

Gnashing teeth of hell beckoned
The irony of advice scorned and ignored
Blaring siren, screeching wheels an ambulance on scene
Time constant; Memories distant, a death instant.

For all my loss of a friend
His victim in the other car a breadwinner
He drove drunk his action not one to defend
The ending, the difference between fantasy and reality

Windows closed air cone on he lived for the chase
He loved his desire for pace
Every journey a rat race
Hopefully in heaven by God's grace.

A face too dismembered for body viewing
A page black and blank
Bereaved families left grieving
Drunk driving a deadly prank.

Drunk vehicular deaths are preventable
The loss of life irreplaceable and regrettable
For one death innocent souls obliterated
My friend drove and died inebriated.
