Speeding in Idaho
Walking down the road at ten below,
the children were lost in deep deep snow.
Let out of the pickup and told to walk
by a meth-crazed father who couldn’t talk.
“Git to your moms” this scraggly fool said,
little did he care if they were alive or dead.
At the two mile mark she could go no more,
laid down in the snow, frozen to the core.
Brother kept walking, only eight miles to go
along that icy road in Boise, Idaho.
Lucky for him a stranger passed by
and took him to emergency before he could die.
Little Jim lost a leg, a home, a sister that day
while the old man snorted their lives away.
