Silent Motions Can Cause Awful Things

Silence
Not even a sound
Why is it so quiet
When everyone’s around

They saw them
The couple of the year
Even the most popular kids
Gawked at their two peers

The silence was envy
Because this girl no one had seen
She was the new girl
And she hadn’t made an effort to be the most popular teen


The couple entered the party
Which was thrown on a whim
He took off her coat
Which put her on the popularity rim

Everyone wondered
“Why he was with her”
But he just did it for free drinks
And to make her feel unsure

She wanted to make her mark
In this new high school
So she grabbed a drink as well
Knowing that she was cool

On the couple’s cue
The party restarted
And everyone grabbed a drink
On the time charted

There were a lot of drinks
Margaritas and all
And everyone looked like
They were having a ball


So the couple left
Like something was accomplished
Even though the party
Was far from finished

They got into his jeep
Drunk and confused
And got on the road
And ended up being on the news

They had died that night
In a car accident nonetheless
Because they were drunk driving
And caused an awful mess

Two others were killed as well
Who were innocent and sober
Caused by the drunk couple’s ride home
And this news wasn’t what four families had hoped for

I hoped you learned something
From this story
That if you drink and drive
You will be sorry
