M.A.D.D. (Drink & Drive)

[kt.]

MADD  (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) IS HOPING TO GET 5,000 SIGNATURES ON  THIS.  I got this email but there was no link to post it so I cut and pasted it onto here.  A drink drive message.


I went to a  party,

And  remembered what you said.
You  told me not to drink, Mum
So  I had a sprite instead.
I  felt proud of myself,

The  way you said I would,
That  I didn't drink and drive,
Though  some friends said I should.

I  made a healthy choice,

And  your advice to me was right,
The  party finally ended,
And  the kids drove out of sight.

I  got into my car,

Sure  to get home in one piece,
I  never knew what was coming, Mum
Something  I expected least.

Now  I'm lying on the pavement,

And  I hear the policeman say,
The  kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mum,  his voice seems far away.

My  own blood's all around me,

As  I try hard not to cry.
I  can hear the paramedic say,
This  girl is going to die.

I'm  sure the guy had no idea,

While  he was flying high,
Because  he chose to drink and drive,
Now  I would have to die.

So  why do people do it, Mum

Knowing  that it ruins lives?
And  now the pain is cutting me,
Like  a hundred stabbing knives.

Someone  should have taught him,
That  it's wrong to drink and  drive.
Maybe  if his parents had,
I'd  still be alive.

My  breath is getting shorter, Mum

I'm  getting really scared.
These  are my final moments,
And  I'm so unprepared.

I  wish that you could hold me Mum,

As  I lie here and die.
I  wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mum!'
So  I love you and good-bye.

Let us hope that people remember this if ever they get tempted to have one for the road. :)

Fortunately/unfortunately there are many more Mad Mothers that there are Drunks.
You can manage to avoid a drunk, but you cant avoid a MM.

It should be made illegal.
