Contents of a Dead mans Pocket

The police officer walked over
to examine the nasty wreck
all around people are sobbing
he got a sharp pain in the neck

Blood shed all over the ground
bodies left and right
god he hated to be the one
to deliver the bad news tonight

Two vehicles collided
a Camero and a truck
one guy was okay
the other didn*t have his luck

The drunk driver was fine
in his seat he sunk
he*s arrested, but at least alive,
God loves criminals and drunks...

The cop scans the scene
he looks all over the ground
he finds a key chain flashlight
a wallet was also found

In a dead mans pocket
this is what was contained
even though his face was gone
these items still remained:

A drivers license
a pumpkin seed
an id from 1993
a family photo
a striking match
these items cause
ideas to hatch...

Why did he keep that dried out seed?
Whats special \'bout the i.d. from \'93?
What purpose serves the striking match?
What about this guy don*t we quite catch?

The contents of a dead man\'s pocket...
resurrecting questions and such...
one more thing..he had a locket..
engraved said:
Lila, I love you so much...
