Signals Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Signals

Rating: 5.0


No sooner
Light changes color
Why do you take off?
Red light awaits ahead
Why such a hurry?

Green light's signal to go
Red light's signal to stop
To control man's movement
A light stands at every step
Look ahead and drive
It's dangerous otherwise
Harm awaits
At every intersection.

On the road
All the way
Many lines we see
Solid and dashed
White and yellow
And lo behold
Signs and numbers
That set the limits.

Colors of lights
Stretches of lines
Symbols and numbers
Our creations
Are all there
To guide us
For our own safety
Observe we must
Signals they send
And to follow them
Is our duty.

I see all religions as traffic lights that make us disciplined but most of the believers of a religion violate the traffic signals and we start thinking it's a bad religion. No religion is bad.

There are signals before us! At times they may seem impediments in our progress, but they are for our safety and guidance! Ignoring them can invite perils untold for us and others! An enjoyable read!
