Speed Kills (an acrostic)

Speed Kills

Speed will kill in ’24
Police will wage their own war
Exceed limit fine ask for
Expect fools safety adore
Do not drive foot to the floor
~
Keep to the speeds set by law
I hope toll less than before
Liquor, drugs, phones add to score
Last year’s toll down thirty four
So drive safe don’t make toll more

Speed kills

Sitting alone
by the phone
calling home
no reply
~
Trying again
deep in pain
quite insane
no reply
~
Bleeding inside
lying astride
A motorbike ride
no more pride
~
Calling for help
cursing oneself
Speed didn’t help
no more time
~
