The road stretches out before me
A blur of asphalt and light.
My fingers tap and swipe
As I scroll through my feed
A message comes in,
And my mind begins to lead.
I respond without thinking.
The words flow like a stream
But as I look up,
I realize my mistake
The car swerves, the tires squeal,
My heart races with fear.
Texting on the road is dumb
Continue that and you will feel numb
This app tells your friends that you are driving
Even if your friends are conniving
If you don't want to pay the fee
Being safe is what is key
As long as it is open
You will never be broken
So let us agree to not text
So you can get home next
If you do not want to die
So you can get home safely for pie
And if you don't want to end up in the sky
And don't want your parents to cry
Open the app and don't reply
Hopefully you understand
Your life is now in your hand
Now you should get the theme
Opening the app will save your screams
So you can look at more memes
Do you really want to suffer the loss
And be stuck under a cross
Where flowers are tossed
Texting while driving,
Is a deadly game we play.
Let's put our phones away,
And keep our focus on the way.
