I need perspective, or I’ll burst
I cry or laugh, not sure what’s worse
When people seem to close their eyes
To those around, it’s no surprise
There always will be those who crush
Push those aside in need to rush
Short-sighted is their default setting
They never learn, keep on forgetting
Those extra seconds they try hoarding
Their smirking face o’er me they’re lording
Never wins out in the end
Though laws they always try to bend
They race through yellow lights with glee
Exhaust pipes belch annoyingly
They disappear in cloud of smoke
They think that rules are naught but jokes
You see them weave like drunken sailors
A signal light will not prevail here
But I catch up, I always do
It’s funny ‘cause they know it’s true
For nothing makes a speeder cry
Then when they get hung out to dry
They can’t escape that one long light
This bitter pill brings me delight
To have to stop is aggravating
Stuck they are with me, just waiting
When light turns green they race through traffic
Yet I catch up again, like *magic*
I laugh at road monopolizers
Red lights - the great equalizers…
