Accident at maingate

Accident at maingate
chaos and bloodshed
shrieks of pain
cries of sorrow
panic attack of fear
strolling to an end
smoke and fire
impact and collision
metal hittting metal
man killing man
me a passerby
from my vantage position
saw the accident at maingate
saw recklessness rule
saw impatience decide
to bring injuries and death
to people at maingate
and tears fell from my eyes
seeing people i don't know
in so much pain and sorrow
i suspect the driver was drunk
or perhaps his brakes failed
but he fled unhurt
but the victims couldn't.
