No Consideration Poem by Deborah Ashdown

You had no consideration for ones life.
You ran him down, left him in the road, to die.
His body was hit at such impact,
his head severed, his body no longer intact!

And still you drove off to deliver your drugs,
burnt your car out, dumped it in the woods.
You say you immediately returned to the scene,
that's when you heard his mother scream!

How could you not hand yourself in.
You say you felt guilty, deep within.
What about all the pain his mother was in.
You committed a deadly sin!

It didn't take long for the police to hunt you down.
You gave them a hell of a run around.
They found you, charged you and sent you away.
Giving you time to re-think back to that day!

Ten years you got for killing her son.
I guess at the end of the day, you won.
But for that sons' mother, her grief will always live on.
You took the only precious gift in her life, her one and only son!
