An Amtrak train traveling south
The train departed from New York Penn Station
Well I was on my way on vacation
We departed from New York at One PM
Through the tunnel and rails we went
I am definitely on my journey being heaven sent
It will be an overnight ride
Arriving in my destination of Atlanta being my stride
Before we get there
There is some time to spare
As the night lights were out on the train
Something happened and let me explain
The Amtrak Conductor rushed through the train
Suddenly the Engineer applied the brakes
My response was “Oh for goodness sakes”
Apparently someone was trying to jump off the moving train in suicide
This was hard to put aside
The passenger was taken off because he didn’t abide
Death that could have been in a passenger’s try
Well the train proceeded on and the night seemed very long
We arrived in Atlanta On Time, and the exploration was mine.
A TRAIN RIDE THAT WAS FROM TOMORROW, THE POSSIBILITY OF A RAILING SORROW
