Hesitation Highway

You meet me in the middle
You stop
I start
You come
I go

I meet someone new
Sometimes they move
Sometimes they stay
They hesitate
Afraid to commit
So I go away
Then they go
I stop
They stop

This dance goes on
Day after day
Night after night
Dangerous
Confusing
We all wait
For the light

No one understands
Or does their part
No one cares
No one notices
With hardly a glance
We drift and we dart

There must be a way
To make the choice
To dedicate our lives
To give us a voice
In all that happens
Within one small space

I feel the confusion
Of lights flashing red
In all four directions
For all that lies ahead
I do know the answer
To this dilemma
You see:

The powers that be
Must make the change
To Red
Yellow
And Green lights
At each intersection
And interchange
