THE TRUCK DRIVER
You say because I'm a truck driver, all I do is sit down all day and that my truck is a road hazard.
You're right, I do sit all day; but I sit and see the problems with the world from behind the steering wheel.
I see the young mother texting and driving with her child in the car.
I see the drunk driver returning from a night out.
I see the impatience to save five seconds.
I see the teen boy trying to impress a girl by speeding recklessly in and out of traffic, without knowing that is the reason I had to see the first responders close a body bag last week.
I see high school girls begging for attention by flashing their bodies.
I see the lover quarrels and romantic kisses.
I've seen things that allow me to see your next move on the road.
I've seen so many things that very few things I see surprise me anymore.
All you see is that I'm a truck driver and my truck is a road hazard; but on behalf of all my brothers and sisters, my workmates, my employers, my family, I see a nation in denial.
Copied and pasted and ohhhh so TRUE!
