innocent lifes...

yeah...i was checkin thru my mail...and i came across this one mail...it's a petition passed around to collect 5000 names...it's a poem...and here it is...

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink,
Mom, so I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming,
Mom, something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
the kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's 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,
now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,
put ' Mommy's Girl' on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,
Mom 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,Mom!'
So I love you and good-bye.

neway...as i read through the poem...tears starting welling up...life is somehow unfair...the innocent ppl have to face the consequences of those who sinned or those who can only think about themselves...

somehow it reminded me of the dead body i saw in the mortuary...it was an old lady...she went marketing...she was banged by a car...but the stupid driver just left her to die...so it was a 'hit and run' accident...i saw her expression...the terrified expression...she died just like that...and the sad thing is that she wasn't havin any identity with her...so none of her family members knew that she was gone...none of her loved ones were aware that she died...

i stood there staring...looking at her...her life must have flashed before her...i just prayed...hoping that her family members can be located...neway...she died just like that...thanks to some stupid driver who was irresponsible to own up to his/her mistakes...some pathetic driver who is not bothered of other road users...some self-centred driver who only cared bout saving his own life...some ignorant driver who does not want to obey the speed limit or the rules...

neway...may that lady rest in peace...i know that she had found a betta place...cause she's in God's hands now...and for that driver...he will pay the price for what he/she had done...

May God bless those innocent lifes that had ascended to heaven...amen...
