Gone Too Soon

What do you say
To a mother who will not hold her child again?
How do you look the eyes
Of a father who will not kiss his son again?
How
Do you even dare to say you're sorry
And in the slightest try their pain to
Imagine?

Gone?
Forgotten not
A cold bed
And sheets that smell of him still

The flowers
They were so many today
And you looked like a saint inside that coffin

Scaring
Death carves scars on your soul
Empties your heart and tears its flesh
So it is pain what you be feeling only

For there is no justice in unfairness
There is no reason in the absurd
There is no right time to say goodbye
To someone whose time you think is aplenty

So long
I might have never seen you
But I just wish you were still here

Lots of silly misfortunes struck our door these past days, they were all things easily solved: a broken car light, an annoying cold, some heating petrol in the tank that just got used up. Things that would normally make you feel upset, but all of them things that can easily be dealt with -most of them just by spending some extra money- all of them fixable, until they inform you of something unfixable, something so definite and irreversible that not even God will fix in this life, a young man who was supposed to be travel for work on an island for the whole of the tourist season yesterday falls asleep on the steering wheel while getting back home the night before night and the irreversible happens. A young man of only 26 years instead of travelling to a beautiful Greek island for work, had to travel to another dimension of existence yesterday. A life who had so much to offer around him. A really good soul who was loved by his family and friends. A friend of my sister's I had never met, but for some reason I feel like he was one of my people after his tragic exit of this life.

- I am really sorry, John. You didn't deserve this, neither you, nor your family. Rest in peace and may God protect your good soul.

Today I happened to stumble upon this article by Bored Panda on a Seatbelt Awareness Campaign: 10 Car Crash Survivors Pose Proudly For A Chilling Photo Project To Raise Awareness About Seatbelt Safety

After that tragic accident, I felt I should share it here with you, because you never know whose life it may save. Something lots of us consider annoying and tend to forget every time we get in a vehicle is to fasten our belts. Just remember, sometimes it only takes a few seconds before your life as you know it gets crashed.

Protect yourselves and the ones you care for.

Even the roads you've driven for years may trick you.

Your seatbelt keeps you bound with... LIFE

Don't forget about @kingblack0 and his call for help:
