I've heard of far too many deaths from speeding. It's not only young people who die this way, but an early road death seems more tragic.
A life not yet lived, cut off on a lonely road...

Thinking about it can't change a thing, but bringing it to people's attention may have some affect, I don't know. I only know that every young person who dies on the road is a tragedy.
Who pays the bill?
A life is lost
is wisdom gained?
Those children speed
past still.
My thoughts slow down
my hands stretch out,
they’re out of reach
until
they realise we had a
point
us bleating older ones
-
speed certainly can
kill
with death a sorry
end.
A life has ended now,
to stop it takes the
will
to force a change -
the mindset’s wrong
and those deaths all
leave a bill
a charge society pays
medical, laws,
funerals
tragically
run of the mill.
