Eleventh Grade - False Memory Poem

The lights change all day long:
Green to yellow to red
And back again.
Thousands of cars obey the law,
Stopping and slowing when told,
But all it takes is one.
One person to do it wrong.
One person to make a mistake,
That’s all it takes
To ruin an innocent life.
The cars brights flash in warning,
Hoping to steer us out of the way
But it did not pay
For we failed to see.
Twisting and turning
The car spun out
And there was, without a doubt,
No way to save the lives that were lost.
