Texting and Driving

It can wait.

Have you ever received a text that you just had to open it up?

Well, I think that we all would be guilty of this once in a lifetime

It has claimed so many lives … just turn on the news…well it is enough

We must focus on everything going on and there cannot be a distraction

This is very serious …Yet there are so many more important things on the news to express

Why not start with the people's lives that are taken due less reaction

One thing that is true is that you cannot control other people, yet we can start from ourselves

We are a movement that can start a chain reaction for people to be more responsible

If you see that your friend or family is texting while driving say something…death is a possibility or jail bells

However, what is so misfortunate is that a person lives their life regretting that he took an innocent person’s life

The remorse…tears…can never bring that person back…it will be forever a memory

Like a metaphor …it is like a sharp pinching or stabbing feeling like a knife

Many people say it is harmless it only affects certain people…it won’t be me

Then the inevitable happen…when it starts off as a car swerving then builds up to less focus

For example, Pokémon was the worst distraction that could have ever been invented yet people could not see

It causes more injuries just from walking and from driving looking for a character in a field

It was so much fun until the police decided that wow let’s make money ...everyone gets cited

The way people walking not paying attention as though their body was shield

This is a very important topic that can save so many lives if the phone can be put down

Just tell yourself if it is that important I can pull over or wait until I reach my destination

Put the phones down so that next year we all can be around

We live, and we learn…is what many people say these days…which speaks volumes

We live by our rules and we need to abide by the laws of no texting while driving

We learn by our actions so let our behavior be acceptable and not looking for Pokémon costumes (images)
