Life's Traffic
The traffic in our lives is just as bad as the 5o'clock rush hour
people stop and go, pass and leave, idle and wave
We might be just as bad;never here to stay and have to go
But when park for a while and get out to take a look around
We see who is here to stay and go, pass and leave, idle and wave.
Those that stay are rare
And those who go are common
but most of the time we are unware
and they become construed conceptions
We hardly remember those who pass
With a quick glance, a nod, perhaps to pervoke
But those who leave remain. We cannot forget
Because they once stopped, but must go
Sometimes it doesnt make sense
Then those who idle simply wait
for something they might want, need, or trade.
They are more dangerous and the quickest
For they are gone without a trace
Similar to those who idle, some wave
But good intentions are strewn about
With nice gestures,smiles, and little doubt
They have the can make your day,
By simply acknowledging your presence
So start our own cars and put it in reverse
Those with caution back out slowly and move on with hesssitation
And some pull through without a gander at their mirrors
For fear they might be left behind,
Because everyone stopsand goes, passes and leaves, idles and waves.
