TRAFFIC TIME
.
.
Who are the people that don't use turn signals?
Run red lights, blow past stopped school buses
As the children try to make it home alive?
Who drive twice the speed limit
Cuts other cars off in traffic
Races the train to the tracks?
Even if they don't care about their own lives
Don't they care about the lives of others?
Do rules irritate them and so they scoff at the laws?
Are these mistakes, lapses in judgement, driving impaired?
We could have much more safety on the road if we all
Obeyed the traffic laws.
Is there someone who doesn't want to get home in one piece?
I think some of this might be about time
Our limited time and the gut clenching feeling as our time runs
Through the hourglass in our subconscious minds
Our mortal life is limited and when we are in traffic every second
Seems precious, like a prize worth fighting for
This causes angry hurried emotions that cause
Risk taking, rude behavior, and fatal wrecks
Which smash the hourglass and spill the sand forever.
