Drag Races (acrostic)

You don't do 70 in a 45 mph zone without something going wrong.

Doing what some teenagers will do for fun:
Running cars from here to there;
Anticipating a win, boys take the dare,
Gradually pump pedal, brakes off, give it the gun.
Reminders not heeded, seatbelts not locked
As two cars reach sixty and more.
Cruising speed obtained long before
Each driver loses control; bystanders are shocked.
Slain victims lay strewn on road after fiery crash.

Wow! What a thought provoking write my friend. I must say that I as a teen was guilty of this crime, not the driver...but the passenger of many drags. It was just something that we used to do for fun, and proof of who had the fastest car...we were a blessed generation, didn't loose any friends to this insanity...today my husband and I still enjoy drag racing, only from the spectators seat at the drag strip...legal racing with seatbelts and safety crews on hand...eye opening write my friend, makes me count my blessings and be thankful that the Lord was watching over us all those years ago. Enjoyed this much!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

"Drag Races (acrostic)" is a striking composition on social irresponsibility
and careless attitude.

I enjoyed the reading of "Drag Races (acrostic)" for its contents and message.

In gratitude and appreciation,

Such a terrible waste of a life, isn't it? Very descriptive.
Be safe,

Street racing has been a scourge around these parts and there have been horrific results on many an occasion. Thank you, George. Love and peace to you,

Graet poem George. I remember those days. I was as guilty as the young ones today, except I lived. Very potent stuff here!
