Doing right...from wrong.

Screetching of breaks and tyres

on the road

no time to think.

He panicked and turned

the key.

He knew he hit something

he knew he was in trouble.

He started it up and fleed

the scene.

On the news later at home.

He saw the destruction he

caused by being a boy racer.

He struck a little girl and she

had a broken leg and concussion

and bad bruises. But she was going

to be okay and alive.

He went to grab his car keys.

Then realized his action.

And then lay then down again

on the table.

He walked to the front door

and right to the police station

as that was a sign to do right

by the little girl he hurt.

And be a man.

Drag racing, or speeding in general can be very dangerous and a lot of people forget that. It's a sad reality. Fortunately the protagonist in this store learned his lesson and turned himself. Not many are able to confront their wrong doings. Great piece!

Much Love
