Head-on Collision (True story) (Free verse) by t_t_redhot
I see it happen
so very fast.
Head-on collision,
drunk driver.
Pulling to a stop,
a baby is crying.
Glass is everwhere.
The drunk is
out of his car.
Compound fracture,
Femur sticking
through is cloths.
I go for the baby,
she seems to be ok.
Reaching for me crying,
I have to help her.
I look up,
another child 50 ft away.
Running to her, in hope,
all hope is lost.
In a pool of blood,
I check for a pulse.
Nothing, so I have
move on.
In the driver's seat,
a man with no face.
In the passanger seat,
a woman with no scalp.
The car is crushed,
I can't get in to help.
People are all around,
crying, calling 911, in panic.
Help arives, they ask me question.
The drunk tries to lie.
I tell the truth,
in pure anger.
They drive off,
no lights on.
All is lost,
because of a drunk.
This is a true story,
oddly enough it happened
on halloween.
