Concoction
It was a Friday night
A party was in full swing
Booze of all types covered
The tables and counters
Music blasted throughout
The house filled with
Teenagers consuming random
Drinks made by friends
Kids drunk not sure
What they are doing
As one boy finds the keys
To a truck parked outside
Taking some friends with
Him to the big car
Driving down the long street
Alcohol controlling the car
The young teenager had
No control over the truck
That held him in his seat
Unlike his friends who
Were not held into their
Seats yelling and swinging
Their arms back and forth
Soon all movement stopped
And the boy in his seat
Still strapped in had his
Head attached to the steering
Wheel with his friends next
To him laying on the hood of
The car with his legs still in
The truck not moving
Neither of them moved
The boys in the back of
The car had their heads
Cracked on the windows while
The boy in the middle
Laid between the boy
With his head on the
Steering wheel and his
Friend through the windshield
There was no movement
There was no breathing
Booze no longer drove
The car, no one drove
The car, the five boys
Just laid there asleep
As their bodies laid there
Bleeding and aching

What inspired me to write this poem on the specific topic, drunk driving, is because I feel like it is too much of a common problem reoccurring thoughout the world. I hope that people get a feeling from this poem that makes and helps them understand one of the many dangerous outcomes that can come from driving drunk.
