The news out
of Penwell, Texas was like a sequel to The Fugitive
But here the
nightmare was real not acted and at least ten men no longer live
A sequel
without Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford
Just one fatal
release for the men on a prison bus aboard
A bus
carrying inmates to El Paso slid off an icy road and flips over onto the rails
Union
Pacific carrying freight appears and the bus it nails
Wrong place
and the wrong time and for at least ten their lease is up
No time to
plan, no time to say goodbye as death comes in a manner abrupt
Just another
reason to the purpose of one’s life ponder
Never a time
to one’s goals postpone or from them wander
Christ was right;
death can come like a thief in the night at anytime, at any place
Live life
like today could be your last without a chance to your acts retrace
