    Poem Commentary

    A true story, heartbreaking to say the least. Why do young people have to take such great chances? Its been seven years for this young mans family and friends and they all still say why?

    IMAGINE IF YOU WILL

    Try to imagine with me if you will,
    A car out of control careening down a hill.

    Out of control! You’re driving too fast,
    Please slow down or your life won’t last.

    Try to imagine with me if you could,
    The sound of metal hitting against wood,

    Why weren’t you careful, why go so fast?
    You died too young your life didn’t last.

    Try to imagine, stand here by me,
    Your parents just found out, you hit a tree.

    Your mother screamed, fell to the floor,
    Your dad can’t believe it as he shuts the door.

    It can’t be my child your father said,
    It isn’t true! He’s too young to be dead!

    Reckless driving and speeding too,
    Hit a tree, the window you went through.

    Try to imagine your mother lying there,
    Your dad on his knees stroking her hair.

    Sobs racking their bodies, they just found out,
    Their only child dies, what was it all about?

    Why did you drink and decide to drive?
    Instead of just being late now you won’t arrive.

    Imagine your friends with sorrowful tears,
    How much they will miss you throughout the years.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
