There was no problem in the beginning
He was fine,
Until that night
And it brought his night a living nightmare.
All because of one bottle,
A car, and a driver
Changed his life forever
That night he ended the life of a happy family
A son, a daughter,
A mother and a father
Enjoying their night from golfing
All of a sudden, the mother and father
Felt a slam of depression engulf them
Once they realized their son and daughter
Had passed away from the accident.
Tears filled their eyes
Miserable was their only mood
Since their children died
To a driver who was too drunk to understand
What he just went through
It’s not rocket science
To understand what was done
Although, little did he realize
He would pay the price for what he has done.
100 years to life in prison
That day he entered a cell full of sorrow
No remorse, no mercy,
No happiness.
He left his soul at the prison cell door
He wasn’t a person anymore
He was a depressed man
Trapped in a prison cell
All because of one decision
That changed his life forever.

a memorable, character study
as a didactive read
better than any, don't drink and drive advert
I've ever come across..
thanks for sharing
(and as this is more than likely based on a real story
my heart aches for those dealing with losses
of the family
and of the individual, who
committed
such an easily avoidable, crime)
our vehicles
are literally:
'weapons of mass destruction'
this is a fact, we all need to learn
sadly
I, had to learn the hard way
but I'm grateful, I did learn
however belatedly..
