A deal for a driver



Please, do not neglect me
When feeling sleepy starts to creep in
Then you pass out as I have been
Just for a fraction of a second!

You feel adrenaline,
You are awakened
While feeling chill along your spine
Do NOT ignore that warning sign!!!

Be SCARED, I am begging you
Singing out loud
Will help a lot! No doubt!

The moment it is safe,
Pull over on a side
Don’t question yourself,
You could have just died

Ten minutes you will sleep, no more
Then rested continue your trip,
I have done it before
              ***
I see you waking up alive and making it!
Arriving on time is a deal, will you take it?

- Topiya, Muses, and Andrusha Smyk, 2022
