Drunk Driver - Author Unknown
		I went to a party, Mom, and I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank root beer instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mom, though others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you're always right. Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home on one piece. Because of the way you raised me, Mom, responsible and sweet. I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road, the other driver didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, the other guy was drunk, Mom, and I'm the one who'll pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom, I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me, Mom? My life burst just like a balloon. There is blood all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time. I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others, Mom, The others didn't think. He was probably at the party, Mom, the same party as I. The only difference is, Mom, he drank and I will die. Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life. I'm feeling sharp pains now, Mom, pains just like a knife. Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive. If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mom, before I say goodbye. I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
