The theme for the month is 'An Untold Story'
I went to a
party, Mom
I did not
drink,
as u had
said, Mom
I felt really
good inside,
as u had
mentioned,
I would feel,
If I keep
that aside
I didn't not
drink and drive,
The way you
thought,
I would,
Even though I
was told,
I should,
They said,
it’s a thrill,
still I held
on to my will
Finally the
party was ending,
Out of sight,
Everyone was
going,
I felt proud,
thing
I had done
was right
As I got in
the car,
I knew I had
to be home safe,
I braced the
belt and checked the brake
I pulled on
to the road,
Slow I was on
the node
But the other
car,
Just struck me
like a load
Motionless I
was lying on the road
Many injuries
I boar,
the other guy
was drunk,
I heard the
policeman roar
This is not
fair, Mom
the guy who
hit me is walking,
while I’m
unable to do any talking
There is a
lot of blood around,
Most of which
is mine,
The medic
says,
I will die in
short time
I wish
someone had told him,
Not to drink
and drive
If so, I
would still be alive,
Probably he
was at a party as I,
only
difference was, he drank
and I will
die
I am losing
breath,
My thoughts
are fading,
I wish you
reach in time,
I swear Mom,
I didn't dink
and drive
My last wish,
this
An untold
story, Mom
Reaches
everyone in time,
I didn't drink,
It was others
who didn't think,
I wish
everyone now thinks,
So no one’s
life is ruined in a wink
Be fore I say
good bye,
I ask a
question Mom,
I didn't drink and drive,
So why am I the one to die?
