He Ran The Traffic Light

Hurrying brings waste, bad decisions, lost of life or pain

Every time you chose to hurry think once again

Running a traffic light can be the worse haste

And today was this terrifying dragon she faced

Nothing between them but thin air

The brakes squeaked their appeal and folk looked from everywhere

He was driving his posh BMW and she saw in his eyes

Emotions of fear, terrified from the alarming surprise

That he had stopped within inches of taking her life

Ran the stop light and almost took this soon to be wife

And she stared at him and grew angry

Fool, damn fool, what if he had ran over me

Fury burst through her veins, she wanted that he too feel

Intensely terrified and never repeat this ordeal

Crowds of people on the sidewalk were sure they would see

Life snatched away from her, a great tragedy

If it had happened, he would’ve been ok with a car dent

God knows what we would’ve missed, the times we would’ve spent

His life would have gone on and she would have been dead

Tonight she would not have been here beside me in my bed
