Road surface was breaking up poor maintenance
along the verges much debris
where there had been many road traffic accidents
as cars passed at high-speed
with no thought of the danger that lurked ahead
where there had been many dead!
Sure they were protected in their metal boxes
immune from dying or injury
surrounded by safety features they charge
everything outside was unreal
the electronics efficiently executed control
but onboard computers with no soul!
As the surface crumbled tyres compensated
trying hard yet failing to grip
potholes evermore forming as roads failed
councils bleating they had no money
yet motorists paying large sums in fuel duty
and taxes bringing in lots of booty!
This is then diverted into many other projects
policing has today rapidly declined
as cars often chosen as modes of transport
increasingly used as weapons
for some they are their prefered killing machine
this disregard for life obscene!
Without a license insurance and any conscience
drive after drinking and drug taking
teenager racers to charge at high-speed for fun
thinking they are invincible to dying
too often in tragic circumstances lives are lost
futures hopes and dreams tossed!
Many drive reflecting on their attitude to life!
