think twice eh?

just read this poem on skylineowners.co.uk

very touching, especially considering i've got a daughter, and would hate to think this came from her...



WENT TO A PARTY, MUM

I went to a party,

And remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom

So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,

The way you said I would,

That I didn't drink and drive,

Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,

And your advice to me was right,

The party finally ended,

And the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,

Sure to get home in one piece,

I never knew what was coming, Mom

Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,

And I hear the policeman say,

The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,

Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,

As I try hard not to cry.

I can hear the paramedic say,

This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,

While he was flying high,

Because he chose to drink and drive,

Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom

Knowing that it ruins lives?

And now the pain is cutting me,

Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom

Tell daddy to be brave,

And when I go to heaven,

Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,

That it's wrong to drink and drive.

Maybe if his parents had,

I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom

I'm getting really scared.

These are my final moments,

And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,

As I lie here and die.

I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom!"

So I love you and good-bye.



be sensible this christmas people, leave the car at home

hope you all have a happy and safe xmas

A friend of mine's older brother was killed in an accident right near my house last night. The accident was caused by a woman who had been drinking. My friend's younger brother was in the car too and is now in the hospital in critical condition. All of this 4 days before Christmas.


So yeah, I know what that poem is talking about. The woman that caused the accident deserves a bullet in the head. To think all she got was manslaughter something or other pisses me off.

Agreed.

I'm glad I at least have the presence of mind when I'm hammered to know I shouldnt get into a car and drive.

I hope the rest of you do too.

Keep it safe, guys.

Double posting is no good.
