Front page news of our local paper

by June   Jun 2, 2008


Not that long ago ,
and not too far away from here.
There was a terrible accident ,
made front page news that brought a tear.
Four lads in a car one night ,
age of the driver was twenty two.
He and one other were lucky ,
but who knows how they'll live with what they went through.
For the other two at only sixteen and eighteen ,
lost their lifes on that awful night.
Their families worlds have been torn apart ,
made worse by the fact justice does not seem right.
The driver had been driving way to fast ,
not only that he has been drinking and was over the limit.
For his wrong doing he's been sentenced to five years ,
five years in jail and he'll properly only do half of it.
He'll get out and have his life to live ,
unlike those young lads whos lifes were cut short that night.
Will he be haunted by the memories of what happened ? ,
no one knows but if thats justice then it just ain't right.
