And Who Will You Kill Today

The campaign goes on and I continue to be inspired by the promotion. I wrote earlier but then this afternoon I heard another theme that was equally as emotive. The local group is recommending that we start putting white crosses on the highway at the areas where there was a death.

 

And Who Will You Kill Today

 

Awoke this morning with lots on my mind

Numerous unfinished tasks, I had fallen behind

Didn’t take my breakfast, there was no time to eat

 

Was running late, this morning I had my bosses to meet

Hurried into the car, turned it on and was off in a flash

Off so quickly I hit the garbage bin but averted a crash

 

Wobbled but straighten in time for a stop

Impatiently waited all 10 seconds for the light to drop

Like a drag racer I was away with screeching brakes

Little child jumped out my way, another of my mistakes

 

You see I was eating a leftover sandwich from yesterday

One bite, the insides dropped causing my eyes to stray

Used the brakes to avoid hitting a lady who had stepped out

 

Keep your eyes on the road, I heard her shout

I drove recklessly, I know, trying to save time

Let my haste force me into each traffic crime

Lifted my phone to text and let my assistant know

 

That I was running 5 minutes late and don’t let the boss go

Oops, I’d missed a red light and barely missed a bike

Didn’t regain control and struck a car that mine is alike

And we both somersaulted then the other car spun on its roof

You asked And Who will You Kill Today, I say me, here’s my proof
