Drunken Driver

How many lives have been taken away,
By those who have driven drunk?
No less than KILLERS driving our streets,
Ending innocent lives by the bunch.

The ones who KILL yet live themselves,
Are knocking families to their knees,
Left to grieve in pain for a lifetime,
Their loved ones no more to see.

The law does not protect against
These KILLERS at the wheel,
For when it's time to face the courts,
They're given another appeal!

Let's try to just imagine
The loss of our loved one's life
To such a selfish horrendous act,
Who has paid a KILLER'S price.

When driving drunk and blinded,
No responsibility do they show,
These demons who drive so aimlessly,
Snuffing out lives wherever they go.

I cannot feel the loss inside
And pray that I never will;
If a child of mine lost their life,
Then mine would surely stand still.

So please let's bow our heads in prayer
To the memory of all who've been claimed
And for the families that are left crying
For this needless act of shame!
