The Other Side
In turning from yellow now to red he stopped at the light
Avoiding any such dread in accordance as to what is right
A simple law we all agreed and no matter our own desire
None of us would just not heed no matter how late or dire
And thank God for such sight everyone aware of this law
In stopping at that red light it makes it much safer for all
But if even just a few disobey we would have need to fear
As then maybe one day in front of you they suddenly appear
All laws are made for a reason and most benefit us greatly
It's only when there is treason that the affects you soon see
But Spiritual law is greater than any civil law you can name
The consequences of the Creator is why He gave you such shame
Better off running a red light than upsetting the One Above
All that He said is right and done out of complete Divine Love
But you have freewill and you may choose whatever you decide
Yet here it is yourself you kill in not making it to the other side
