Message In A Bottle Poem by Thia Stockman

So your friends offered you some more?
they said nothing as you grabbed your keys and walked out the door.
You turned on the car and stepped on the gas,
expecting no one will catch you, you'll get a 'get out of jail free' pass.
You didn't see that blinding light?
Neither did that family of 4 putting up one hell of a fight.
They didn't know they'd be losing their beloved mother,
nor did that sister who lost her older brother.
So you're walking away with nothing more than a few scratches,
yet there's nothing that will fix this, no stitches, no patches.
The brother was buried with his sister's favorite teddy bear,
it just doesn't seem right, its just not fair.
Why have you claimed these 2 precious lives?
You shouldn't have drank, you shouldn't have drived.
