I didn't drink and drive, Mom !!! (Worth Read)
Kailash Shastri
I
went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to
drink, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.
I
really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn't drink
and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.
I
know I did the right thing, Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the
party is finally ending, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.
As I
got into my car, Mom,
I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the
way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.
I
started to drive away, Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other
car didn't see me, Mom,
And hit me like a load.
As I
lay there on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
"The other guy
is drunk," Mom,
And now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm
lying here dying, Mom....
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this
happen to me, Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom,
And most of it is
mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I'll die in a short time.
I
just wanted to tell you, Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others,
Mom.
The others didn't think.
He
was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank
And I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole
life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.
The
guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying
here dying
And all he can do is stare.
Tell
my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to
heaven, Mom,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and
drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.
My
breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't
cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.
I
have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and
drive,
So why am I the one to die?
Someone took the effort to write this poem. So please,
forward this to
as many people as you can. And see if we can get a chain
going around
the world that will make people understand that drinking and
driving
don't mix.
