The Traffic Light

37 3 1
                                    

Lying in the middle of the road alone
And right above me
Was a traffic light
Green
9 seconds later
Yellow
5 seconds later
Red
Stopped
Over and over and over
And it reminded me of humans
We live the same cycle
Every day . all day .
Except our day is reversed
The Red is waking up
The Yellow is living the day
The Green is getting to sleep again
Over and over and over
So as I lay down
Underneath this traffic light at night
Tired if the same cycle
I will speed through the yellow light
and run the red light
And skip straight to next green light
Because

Well Because everybody has a different traffic light
And all our because's are different
So what's your green light?
