A drunk man
July 15th, 2005
A drunk man in an olds mobile,
they said,had run the light,
that caused the six car pile up
on 109 that night,
when broken bodies lay about and blood was everywhere,
the sirens screamed out elegies
for death was in the air,
a mother trapped inside her car,
was heard above the noise,
her plainitive pleA nearly split the air
oh god plz save my boys!!
she fought to loose her pinioned hands,
she struggled to get free,
but mangled metal held her fast,
in graim captivity,
her tightened eyes then focused on where the back seat had once been ,
but all she saw was broken glass
and two childrens seats crushed in,
her twins where nowhere to be seen ,
she did not hear them cry,
and then she prayed they’d been thrown free,
oh god dont let them die!!
The firemen came and cut her loose,
but when they searched the back,
they found no little boys ,
but the seat belts where in tact,
they thought the woman had gone mad and was travelling alone,
but when they turned to question her,
they discovered she was gone,
policemen saw her running wild and screaming above the noise,
in beseeching supplication,
please help me find my boys,
there four yrs old and wear blue shirts
there jeans are blue to match
one cop spoke up,there here in my car ,and they dont have a scratch,
they said there daddy put them there and gave them each a cone ,
then told them both to wait for mum,
to come and take them home,
ive searched the area high and low,
but i cant find there dad,
he must have fled the scene ,i guess,
and that is very bad,
the mother hugged the twins and said ,while wiping at a tear,
he could not flee the scene ,you see,
for he’s been dead a year.
the cop looked confused and said,now how can that be true?
the boy said mummy,
daddy came and left a kiss for you,
he told us not to worry,
that you would be alright,
and then he put us in this car,
with the pretty ,flashing light,
we wanted him to stay with us,
because we miss him so,
but mummy,he just hugged us tight and said he had to go,
he said someday we’d understand and told us not to fuss,
and he said to tell you mummy ,hes watching over us,
the mother knew without a doubt that what they spoke was true,
for she recalled their dads last words,
“i will watch over you”
the firemens notes could not explain,
the twisted mangled car,
and how the three of them,
escaped without a single scar,
but on the cops report was scribed.
in print so very fine,
an angel walked the beat tonight
on highway 109
