The Unseen Biker

The Unseen Biker.

I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me, put an extra £10.00 in the collection plate last
Sunday.

I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the
cyclone relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the
homeless.

I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Shave for a
Cure.

I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their names written over and in my heart.

I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

I saw you, cut me up because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you, go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me up.

I was just a biker,.....
A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.

Sorry this is one thing that sticks out in my memory.

Not Soppy but is so true Jake,

But hearing that spoken over a Road Safety Advert campaign, while a camera shows some poor biker resting a car on their rib cage while another camera pans out to their family and friends would / could be one way of making people more aware,

As I know myself I take things in better when spoken than read (maybe it's subliminal ?),

I'm not the quickest on 2 wheels but I'd rather arrive late than be 'LATE'

Again well Put

Who wrote that rubbish? Must be a biker priest or something. Stuff like that is way to soppy for my liking and does not impress me in the least. However i realise thats just my opinion

Bring a tear to a glass eye

I'm with you TC3.

Ooh you're a hard man!!

But I agree with you

It IS a bit cheesy, isn't it?

If I'd written it, it would have been more like....

'I saw you, but you didn't see me and now I'm dead you f*ck*ng b*st*rd!'


But that's just me. Some people might actually LIKE the original

Like I said, a bit soppy... I prefer your version
