Stop Lights


Stop Lights

Strange, is it not, Man reached the moon
and Mars and orbs in outer space.
With stars and moon Man can attune,
but traffic lights fools cannot pace.

Men time ignition... retro... land,
and never are one second late.
But, the fools who time stop lights
make us waste gas each light and wait.

It seems the physics of the task
doesn’t work on earthly streets.
To quicken distance, time or speed,
putrid planning oft competes.

Too many lights!
