Subject: When Vampires Weep (My son)

I am also one of those parents who got that awful call in the middle of the night. My eighteen year old son and the oldest, was run over by a car two month ago. Air flight to the nearest trauma center where we first saw him before the first cat scan right and before surgery. The cat scan revealed a broken sternum, broken collar bone, four ribs broken, badly bruised lungs, pelvis broken in five places, small fractured bone in the upper part of the neck, damage to his left vocal cord. Laceration to the liver, but no bleeding, small laceration to one the kidneys, deep laceration on his left knee, which looked bad but didn't require grafting.
When we saw him he was conscious and was talking in spite of the heavy pain killers and his injuries. To me, despite the total shock of seeing him like this and (and I'm trying to see some humor in this, because it's the only thing that kept me from falling apart) was being true to the nature of a teenager was his concerned that he was going to get blamed for something. This concern was followed by, "I wasn't drinking either". This we knew since we had just seen him less then about thirty minutes before the accident.
Twenty four hours later he was wearing an external fixader, his leg was sewed together, and was on a ventilator with everything that went with it like feeding tubs, countless of blood transfusions has kept him alive.

He is home now, with a tracheal tub, a wheel chair, external fixader and more blood transfusions, he is alive and will recover, faster then must in his position, most however would never has survived this sort of thing.
What makes this situation more tragic is the fact that the young man who did this was crass and cold about this, and his confidence in this situation was compounded by the fact that the policeman who came to the accident was a friend of the driver.
His mistake......Underestimating the situation is a wonderfully exploitable weakness on his behalf.......


When Vampires Weep

All things come to an end, for the young and the old.
School books fall to the side, as the screeching of tires
passes through midnight waiting to unfolds.
Stopping the heart of a young child, his body crushed
along the side of the road.

His hopes and dreams spoiled in a second
beneath the moon and the stars.
The essences of death becomes as real
as the last of his human heart beats against the car.
The last of his human soul draws to end,
and the beginning of darkness enters his soul.

All grow weary and tired of this lengthy life we are told.
We nestle our own, the Vampires do bold.
We bring them back to life at what ever cost the three-fold curse bestowes.

And when vampires stop weeping, and sadness has made our hearts grow cold.
Time becomes nothing to vampires while
the Darkness of vengeance's promises to take hold.
