UNFORGOTTEN SCREAMS
        
Red and blue lights flash
What did you just do?
Images of bloo
And a small tennis shoe
You went to a party
You had a blast
No more will you attend
This will be your last
Try to imagine
The fear in her eyes
Flashes of light
Just before she dies
Twisted pieces of metal
A bicycle wheel or two
Today is her birthday
Like you even knew
My drugs are my family
You say with a grin.
But she was your sister
She was your kin
What were you thinking?
When you saw her lying there
Could you even see her
With your drunken, drugged up stare?
Now where are you going?
Do you know where you have been?
Her little smiling face
You will never see again.
But you will hear her screams
Her small voice as she cries
As the fear covered her face
Just before she died



SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT HIM

I went to a birthday party mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all
So I drank Sprite instead.
I felt proud, Mom, Just the way you said I would,
that I didn't choose to drink and drive
Though some friends said I should.
I knew I made the right choice
Because your advice to me was right
And as the party finally ended
The kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car
Sure to get home in one piece,
never knowing what was coming
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
I can hear the policeman say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,"
My own blood is all around me,
as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
"This girl is going to die."
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive
that I would have to die.
So why do people do it,
knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me now
like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not to be afraid,
Tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven
Write "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him
that it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter,
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me , Mom
as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say
I love you and good-bye.

NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE"
