I've has just enough time to... stop at red.
Taken at the traffic light of a wet bird (or two?) on the way to work.
There
comes a time we have to stop at red
But did
we notice the change of light?
Do we
accelerate at the danger sign
To
salvage time for time wasted
For a
little extra time we do not need
“Living
Life in the fast lane
Involves
breaking a few rules
They are
small prices to pay
For the
speed we need to make -
Through
the landscape”
“What is
the point of a journey
If not to
a destination?
No time
to smell the flowers
They are
still there tomorrow -
We have
to get there today”
“Haven’t
you heard time is money
It waits
for no man
And once
spent is gone forever
So what
we need to do is faster -
Before time
runs out”
“So we will not stop at red 1”
So says
the speed devil
Just
before
A red
light too many!
_______
At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light
David
Nail – “Red Light”
