[hometext] => 'Hopefully now this will bring me closure'
[bodytext] => * Based on True Events – 24/11/06 * Today, I’m lucky to be alive, But unlucky more so, Was the driver who didn’t survive, The paramedics said he died of a stroke, When only thirty minutes before, He seemed like a healthy bloke. The date was 24th November 2006, The driver just had his nicotine fix, I could sense something was wrong, When suddenly we hit the kerb, I looked through the glass, We were hurtling towards a Shogun – fast, The driver was slumped back, At that point I said ‘Oh ****’, It was then we hit the Shogun, And my face smashed into the screen, Blood went all over my jeans, I was going to die, That’s how it seemed, Someone had dialled 999, I really thought that this was the Lord’s sign, Telling me that it was my time, Then I saw flashing blue lights, I thought to myself ‘why tonight?’ Ten minutes after, the police arrived, A sheet was put over the drivers head, There and then, He was pronounced dead, Even now I think about the driver, Seeing him, talking to him, Before he died, But Lord I ask why? Why did I have to be the one? To witness his demise, By Jay Basey © 2006 [comments] => 1 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 39 [informant] => devils_denial [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
