God's Gift And A Fool |
| by John LeClare |
|
All wrapped in your shell Of leather and steel Your invincible armor Or so it might feel Pass on the right Speed as you go Blow by the light Save a minute or so Is that your child Smiling in the back seat? Is your time so important Your destination so sweet? Plastic , blood, leather and steel Your armor is flawed Your shell is not real Keep this in mind When you sit at the wheel Cars can be fixed But death can't be healed |

This couldnt be more true! Every one with a lead foot or a finger that likes to show to much should read this! The author of this is a very wise person and should be reconised!

Great job John. People should really read this poem. It shows how careless people can be, by putting other people's lives in danger, just to save a few minutes, like you said. God has granted you a wonderful gift, and I pray that you'll go far. God bless you.
