The Manholes That Kidnap Our Children

The stops signs ‘yield’ to our egos The traffic lights flash red as we go! The dust we kicked up as we blast through The paper waste that drifts on the smoke filled air The giant potholes swallow our monthly budget As we gather the cents on the road to market Overtaken on the life's sharp curve - showing off driving skills Becoming the senselessness of a road kill - speed kills! The ambiguous turns when we ought to go straight The dubious road blocks for a bribe of a ticket! Fine law enforcement at its best...keeping the roads safe Avoiding duty in uniform at their finest...to preserve life The manholes that kidnap our children like satan On the pavement next to hell, they lie dead overdriven Why did you let than drunken driver go Mr. Policeman? He’s now your partner in crime for an innocent soul is taken
