Traffic Light Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

The traffic light,
red, yellow and green
works all together
with rules
sweeps the traffic
neat and clean.

Red is like the powerful eye
green tells go ahead, enjoy
no danger for goers
yellow like women's complaint
always ignored and
no one bothers.

The traffic light
red, green and a buzzer
with American logo
was used first with
electrical control signal
in Ohio, hundred years ago.

Modern traffic signal
the time bound system
controls heavy traffic flow
it's computerized version
gives digital signal
with the very special glow.

The traffic police is better option it works like a super computer
it's the close loop version
gives no light
no caution
but clear-cut direction.

A police at the crossing
tells the traffic
when to stop when to go
gives more time
to the crowded side
and hands dance on flow.
