Subject: ripped from a bike site

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

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the pavement.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 a charity.

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 cigarettebutt 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 kids in Hospitals.

I saw you stare at my long hair and beard.But you didn't see me and my friends cut it off for charities.

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

I saw you look in fright at my tattoos.But you didn't see me cry as my children where born and have their namewritten 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 mylane.

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 womans 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 carve 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 off.

I WAS JUST A BIKER. A person with friends and a family. But you didn't see me. Said in hopes that people will understand the biker community.
