Life's Traffic Jam

Life's Traffic Jam

A Poem by Mercury Mirrors
"

I was listening to 'how many times?' - ICP & i wanted to do my own thing...& this is what came out of it :3 I quite like it. Enjoy.

"
Rising tempers like the heat in a traffic jam.
Tires screeching, horns honking as greasy breaks slam.
I sit behind them, ‘what the hell are they doing?’
If one of them hits me I swear that I’m suing.
To me they represent the current status quo.
Where everyone’s scared & refusing to go.
No sense of adventure just lust for mundane.
Your stupidity is driving me quite insane.
 
I will crash you from behind & force you to the proper speed.
I hope you careen off the road to lay in a ditch & bleed.
No more traffic rules, no more life rules, they’re just hindering me.
I won’t slow down for anyone, or be who you wish I’d be.
 
But right now I am stuck in the passenger seat.
The exhaust smells ill & I’m sweating from the heat.
Roll down a window, but it never gets better.
My sweat-sticky back could not get any wetter.
In this pointless life we just sit here & marinate.

The road ragers yell loudly & gesticulate
