Driving Drunk
by David Pekrul
copyright 03-20-2005

Age Rating: 10 to 127

Picture Credits:

A glass of wine and a bottle of rum,
Getting drunk like that was really dumb.
You staggered around and then fell down,
You thought you were smart but looked like a clown.

What were you thinking getting drunk like this?
Just climbing the stairs was a hit and miss.
But you got in your car and went for a ride,
You finally got home and with luck you’re alive.

You risked your life behind the wheel,
And someone got hurt; now how do you feel?
You say you were drunk and it’s not your fault,
But according to the law it’s vehicular assault.

Now you sit in jail knowing what you’ve done,
The boy you ran over was a mother’s son.
A lesson to be learned; driving drunk isn’t cool,
You were once ‘The Man’; now you’re just a fool.

David, this poem hit me hard. My brother-in-law was killed by a drunk driver six months ago and then went out and got a DWI after he was released on bail. He's now convicted for manslaughter. The sad and baffling thing about this disease is the illusion it gives the patient that he doesn't have a disease at all. That's why the treatment is a spiritual one (AA) as well as a medical/psychological one. (Though this should not exonerate a person from the consequences of his actions). It's a very difficult issue surrounding an extremely prevalent problem (1 in 10 people are alcoholic).
Thanks for your contribution to increasing its awareness.

Jim

I can say I have to real experience with this, but your write does paint the picture. I can only say I am glad I have never been put in either positions of your write. Good work.

Its sad what others do and they don't think about who they may hurt.
I have been guilty of this when I was younger, but please don't do as a fool,
the punishment is cruel.
They should use this as a tool,
to teach in school.
Thanks, Anthony
