A rabbit in my headlights late tonight <br />Twitching, flailing dying in the light <br />Me, I'm kind of scared, upset <br />Witness to the gruesome sight I met <br /> <br />I should have driven over it I thought <br />As its last frenzied battle was fought <br />Be merciful to it in its tragic state <br />But didn't realise until too late <br /> <br />It was just a small, sentient thing <br />On the edge of the abyss and giving in <br />And one living, conscious being <br />Could smell the fear that death will bring<br /><br />David Clinch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-rabbit-in-my-headlights/
