Northern Line

Observing the tunnel, from a midnight view, contemplating his dinner a mighty beef stew
The angel ahead seen as a light, signals are good, green shows alright, platform edge clear, passengers move back, except for one man looking down on the track, he did not respond to the hoot of the horn, unknown to the driver he wished he weren't born
brakes screeching hard stop with a thud, one carriage past, on the screen there is blood
"stay in the cab" the controller advised
driver distraught,  reacting quite brave, somewhat contrived
a selfish act if they have their say,    
that inconsiderate person destroyed our day
try to see it the other side, a family destroyed, a heartbreak for a bride
sad loss for a girl as beautiful as the sky
deserves more contemplation than a whimper and sigh
 a tragedy for many, a soul gone wrong
life is so precious live it for long
