by the side of the road

A life of promise and future, torn.

Freedom to choose,  lost

All in an instant.

By the side of the road.

Going too fast,

Not looking beyond a phone.

All in an instant.

By the side of the road.

 

Twisted and torn,

Eyes wide open.

Life gone away.

By the side of the road. 

 

When we make mistakes,

In our modern world,

Life becomes cheap.

By the side of the road .

Metal boxes speeding,

Flesh weeping.

Blood seeping.

By the side of the road
