Analysis of When an ambulance is passing by
I always was painful
i feared the sound
went out of my mind
went after it
even if the sound and
light disappeared
the echo remained and
bothered me
no matter who was in there
it didn't matter with me
i didn't swear but
it was a wish
i didn't want to see
This morning
ambulance arrived late
at the hospital
my friend couldn't no longer live
even when dawn came
i could not sleep
my hate killed my friend
there was a poor friend in it
now
i don't suffer from the ambulance
i pray that it arrives on time
save people.
