You had to try it
Why?
Everyone else was doing it

You had to drink it
Why?
Everyone else was doing it

You had to smoke it
Why?
Everyone else was doing it

You had to drive home
Why?
Everyone else left

You hit a car and killed a family
Why?
Everyone else was driving

You said it was the last time
Why should I believe you?
Because I'm gone...

I hope that this isnt a story directly related to you, driving under the unfluence of any drink/drug is a terrible thing.  You can kill innocent people and ruin your own life.  The saddest part about it is how preventable it really is...nice poem!

Oy. I'm sooooo not into the drinking and driving thing. Not ever.
It's a terrible risk to take.

This was a simple but to the point poem.
Good work

Drinking and driving is just ****ing ridiculous. Drinking is fine, but people are so hyped up about "escaping" that they abuse it. Oh yay! Let's all drink til we throw-up!

I thought the simplicity of the piece actually helped the message come out clear. Sometimes people trip over words.

Okay...I have had so bad experiences with alcohol and I know ppl that have been killed by drunk drivers.  I am not for it.  This piece was not a personal one and I hope that after reading it that you realize the dangers and the consequences.  Thanx for the replies and I hope to recieve more.
