Don't Text And Drive
To those that think they can multitask
I have a little favor to ask
If you wanna keep your car in one piece and yourself alive
Do yourself a favor and don't text & drive
Slow To Optional Pause
You drove through the STOP sign and broke the law
All because you were on your phone
In a rush trying to get home
If a cop catches you, you're gonna be mad
Because they gave you a ticket for money you don't have
Texting & driving is a hard task
One day you won't be so lucky and that will be your a**
If you text while driving, you won't be able to focus on the road
Just blew one of your tires because you didn't see that pothole
Now you get to "Text" AAA
And tell them about your bad day
Guess you won't be making it to your destination on time
All because you couldn't wait to read that last line
One day you're going to regret it
In your car folded up waiting on the paramedics
Don't get into an accident and pray that you don't die
Just because you couldn't wait to reply
If you don't value your life, show others respect
Don't do anything that you're gonna regret
Don't make any bad decisions
You just might avoid a head on collision
Please do yourself and others a favor
Put down the phone, it can wait till later
If you can't wait, just pull off to the side
You don't know it, but you just saved a couple of lives
I hope this poem sends out a message
You can wait to send/read that last text message

You can wait indeed. It is up to all of us to act responsibly. I think the problem is: Most people who read your poem will already not be on their phone when driving whereas the people who do text & drive will more than likely carry on. That's the way life is. There is just no telling some people what to do. This isn't really a poem though, it's more of a health & safety message, but that's ok I guess if it can get just one more waverer off their damn phone!
There is a saying I like & it is this folks: "IT IS BETTER TO BE LATE IN THIS WORLD THAN EARLY IN THE NEXT!"

You go into the issue well, it could be educational. Also agree with London Poet's last words.
