Death's Drive

Driving down the highway late one night

I heard a loud roar and saw bright lights

coming down the highway and in the wrong lane

the thought of facing death really blew me away.

 

Death was driving, I was waiting for an end to this nightmare

Tires were burning, Death was smoking them everywhere.

The roar of Death's engine echoed that night

flames shooting from the custom pipes

Death's supercharged Chevy blazed

burning rubber down the highways.

 

Death was driving, I was waiting for an end to this nightmare

Tires were burning, Death was smoking them everywhere.

 

I switched to the other lane

and Death's car did the same

then flames lit up the night

God's presence in the firelight

as Death lay there grasping for air

I saw an end to this dark nightmare.

A very intense poem, dark and thrilling. The ride is full of excitement and challenge, who will win this ride. Death is determined not to let it's prey escape but somehow
loses in the end and perhaps death is the victory for the driver of the other car, for the nightmare is over. Very well written. This has the makings of a song, I think it would be a good one too! Thanks for sending this to me so I could read it. :)

A different view of the Grim Reaper. I never
thought of Death and the Grim Reaper
as one and the same. Interesting!
Very captivating and tense poem
just waiting for the crash!
