Was It Worth Your Small Emotion?

Texting While Driving Prevention Campaign #VocalNPM

In the world it seems,

we all become blind,

But what is done is done,

we can't press rewind,

life is lost inside the moment,

when you give time

to small emotion,

cause then

it's only a matter of time,

before you drop below

the ocean,

and see a cloudy night

where rain drops glide

in slow motion,

with yells and the screams,

the chaotic commotion,

With the twists,

and the turns,

the fire and the smoke,

but everything would be fine,

if to you

life was not a joke,

but you had to type "LOL"

before the screen broke,

before the plunge

in the river

right off the cliff,

flashes of commencement

speeches,

words of inspiration,

future was so bright,

but now a fight for ventilation,

and while you unconsciously

sink below the reefs

of the ocean,

text message received,

but was it worth

your small emotion?
