Accident

Accident

The car, was going fast,
and the driver was tired.
Too tired.
So tired he was asleep.
They were both asleep,
and neither of them knew,
What was about to happen.
The car skidded.
More like flew, across the road,
The flying piece of iron,
Hit a tree, and the tree was big,
Too big.
The sound was loud.
The crashing of metal,
The crack of wood.
Sparks were flying, the fire had started,
Sirens and flashing lights,
Swarmed onto the scene, trying.
Trying to save two loved ones,
that were about to be lost.
But it was late.
Too late.
Two people died that day.
An uncle, brother, son, and soon to be father,
A grandfather, a dad, a husband, a loved one.
Although we are still recovering,
Things are better.
We will live through

Story of No Names

Tiny blonde ringlets
Fall into her face
Tiny distractions
Her attention strays
The rest of the world,
and what the teacher is saying
Fade out of her thoughts
Out the window, she's gazing

He smiles at the lady
Behind the office desk
Wishing it wasn't so bright
Wishing he stood out less
He knows that what he's doing
Is completely out of line
But that doesn't mean
