Drunk Driver
Back
Across the silvery table lay,
A woman the color of shivering grey.

This girl did not shake though,
As she lay still

Nor did she breathe slow-
Her lungs did not fill

Another bent over her,
Wearing a bright white

And pulled out his tool,
A long and sharp knife

Slowly but surely,
The body was cut

Steadily onward,
Following the black rut

The tread marks were obvious,
But yet it made no sense;

How be one hit by a semi,
And not get squished?

The morgue report released,
The following day

On front page it said,
"For her please pray"

She was not saved,
There was no ticket prepared

When asked for her I.D.,
Only in shock she stared

Her father knew it would happen,
For he never taught her

The values of heaven,
And have a ticket for her

Daily he would morn,
Of her eternal death

How he wished his fate,
Was not heavy as lead

Then he sat up,
And was guided to the room

Of where he would die,
So tangible the dark gloom

The chair charged on up,
The man screamed quite loud

Then he went down to hell,
Cause sorrow for sin was not found

All he regretted,
That terrible day

Is that he didn't kill himself,
When his daughter was slain

This is the story,
Of that truck driver

Of how he drove drunk,
And killed his only daughter
