Accident

You called me from the hospital
And told me to come quick
Something bad had happened
You sounded very sick

I rushed to the hospital
As quick as I could
I went to your room
And stood there in shock

You were wrapped in bloody bandages
From you head to your toe
You told me to come near
There was something I had to know

I sat by your bed
My mind in a daze
From the few words you said
My brother is dead

I stood up in shock
With things racing through my mind
What I really wanted to know
Is what really happened that day

This is where the story really begins

It was about 12 o’clock
He and his brother
Went to the back road
To race their motorcycles

It was about 3 o’clock
When the accident occurred
They hit head on
Both flying from their bikes

It was a bloody mess
The ambulance came
And rushed them away
There really wasn’t anyone to blame

The road was wet
And the turns real sharp
They made a bet
To see who could ride fastest

Boy was that a mistake
Still to this day
The pictures make me squirm
Seeing his brother
In his death bed he lay.
