Is it fair we have to look down?
It was a beautiful, warm summer day,
I took my wife and our three kids to the park.
We laughed and we played, like a family should,
Until it was time to head home, just after dark.
We stopped at the dairy queen, and ordered ice cream,
Because we promised our kids, that’s exactly what we’d do.
As we drove home, singing songs and talking about the day,
I realized I was looking down, at my wife and my children to.
A car came from out of nowhere, and ripped our van in two,
My kids are covered with blankets, to hide their missing face.
And as I’m looking down I see my wife, gasping for her last breath,
Its then I knew, she would join us, in this different place.
And now I see myself, amongst the metal and broken glass,
Because the place where I had been sitting, is now in the trunk.
The car that took our life’s, on that beautiful summer day,
Was driven by nothing more, than a DRUNK.
So do you truly think its fair that my family has to look down?
At the ones who put us here while they continue to enjoy their fun.
I wish you could see, all the lives you have cut short,
All because you wanted to drive, and drink because you thought it was fun.

Noone should drink and drive! I had one of my highschool firneds this last year pass away becasue of drinking and driving! it was not a fun experience to go through when someone you know was involved in a drunk driving accident!

Cobra, this is so different than your other poems. This surprised me. I didn't know you had this side to you. Keep writing.

I'm so sorry about your family! But I don't understand your question: What do you mean when you say "look down?"
