The Son's Lament -Written by Unknown

I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink Mom,
So I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive Mom,
Even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom,

I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn't see me Mom,
And hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement Mom,
I hear the policeman say, "the other guy is drunk," Mom,
And now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom.
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom.
The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom.
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I'm becoming very scared.

Please don't cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive,
"So why am I the one to die?"
