You Died Today (Texting & Driving)

Don't text and drive...please.

You died today 

Texting "hey" 

You crashed your car 

Texting "where r" 

You suffer injuries 

Texting "meet me" 

You suffer memory loss 

Texting "we lost" 

You looked down to read 

And In front of you, you didn't see, 

A bicycle and a guy, 

The man you made die. 

You typed on your keyboard, 

Just one word, "sure" 

That was the last text you sent. 

Cause in a second you were dead. 

You looked away and laughed 

And sent a message back. 

Then you flipped your car, 

Now your legs a metal bar. 

You rode as a passenger, 

And flew head first, 

Into the windshield 

Youll never heal. 

You died today, 

By simply saying "hey"

It is funny how technology has become such wondrous part of our everyday lives, YET can be such a deadly part as well. i agree this is a great message and I think that you have provided different scenarios as to what can happen to you, with the one common denominator - texting. This is a very powerful piece. And I hear a lot of older adult saying that this is just affect the "younger generation" But I disagree, I have seen adults doing it as well. I think this is something that everyone needs to read! Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work.
