Stoplights

Stoplights

A Poem by whiteNight
"

I really distain stoplights. So much D;

"
Oh, the light is green
Go go go go-
Oh God d****t
It had to change to yellow

I come to a full stop
As the red light mocks me
I sigh and drum my fingers
I have somewhere I need to be

"Come on, come on",
I mutter with a frown
Why is this taking so long?
I need to be across town.

I look over at the next lane
At the driver beside my car
It's filled with so many drunks
It looks like happy hour at a bar

I sigh at turn back to the light
And it's still that taunting red
Oh my God, this is bull-
Hell no, is that a moped?

I scowled as a moped squeezed
Between me and the mobile drunks
I banged my head against the wheel
I try to channel the peace of monks

Red red red red red
Roses are red, I am so blue
I'm beyond bored at this light
I'm late and there's nothing I can do

Red, red, red - Green
My foot is the gas
And I'm long gone
Stoplight - kiss my a*s

Oh no. Oh God no. Please no.
I see another traffic post alike
I stop and bang my head on the wheel
I'm so getting a bike.

you're most welcome :)
This is very well written, it is such a common emotion that affects most humans in, what we may call, society and is primarily, inherent, with the young. Though, can have on affect through one's life. you have such a good perception of being human for someone with, at the moment, your minute physical presence and being in this life.

Excellent

This is a well developed process of thought, it has quick development and expression of a particular emotion. If i may also say, it shows a handicap, generally affected by youth, though not confined to just being young, for it can be lifelong. You seem to have a very good grasp of, if you will, life, for someone with the minimal experience in this particular plane. Well done.
