He knew it was a mistake How many beers does it take To make him relize That he was in way too deep He was dizzy He couldn't even walk But still he chose to drive He had a date That he couldn't miss He thought she was worth his life So he chose to drink and drive He started the engine As his mother begged him not to go He didn't listen though He drove right away He couldn't let his true felings show He knew that his mother was right But he was a "Big Boy" now He could make his own disicions now He drove down the street Swurving from lane to lane He turned the corner Seeing the bright lights He couldn't turn Or even swurve He rammed the car head on And didn't survive He woke up from what seemed Like and endless dream And saw St Peter and the Pearly Gates He walked right up Knowing that he'd be admitted St Peter looked all through his book And then he finally spoke "Your name's not here" "You can't proceed" You made the mistake" "Of taking your life" "While drinking and driving" No! He cried This can't be right I was a Christian I went to church Just because I chose to drink and drive I'm not allowed To the holiest place ever St Peter just bowed his head and said "You know where you have to go" "I'm sorry that it hurts you so" "You know the choices that you made" "Were wrong, so now leave" "I know you not" He cried out in vain As he fell to a place of eternal pain But as he fell he thought of this "His life had come to a sudden end" "Because of his choice" "To simply drink and drive" Remember this when you or one of your friends prepare to drink and drive! |

My friend almost died because he thought he didn't drink that much and decided to drive. Your poem brought up a very important subject and I hope no one drinks and drives or lets there friends drink and drive. Keep up the awsome work. Lauren |

This was so sad, but I think it's really amazing that you wrote this because a lot of people dont even think of all the consequences that they will have to face if they drink and drive. This sent a very clear message and I really hope people read this and learn from it. |

This really was a very touching poem. I think that its great that you chose such a subject to write about. You can never stress the importance of not drinking and driving enough and this poem was a great reminder of what can happen if you choose to do so. Great poem and an excellent idea to write about!! |

This poem is awesome.. it's very sad. I had a very close friend of mine die in a car because the driver was drunk. Thank you for posting this, considering the day, as well. With New Years tonight, I'm sure we all needed to read this. Thank you. *Jennifer |

Drinking and driving is so unbelievably dangerous. Usually the life they claim isn't their own. I'm glad you wrote this, I hope lots of people read and get the message. Nice work! xoxo Jenn "A person can never get over a broken heart if they aren't willing to let go of all of the pieces."-- ?? |

It is soo sad that people feel the need to drink and drive... I lost my dad to drink driving when I was 2 and that was 16 years ago... you would think by now with the number of people who have died this way that some people would learn, but people still haven't and I think that is sad... glad you brought this one up!! Melz!! P.S. Great poem!! Dont believe what ur eyes r telling u they only show limitation. Look with ur understanding, find out what u already know & u will see the way to fly |

Thanks for reminding me though.I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |
