The Unsupervised Stop Sign

The traffic, always busy,
Seemingly streams smoothly
Slithering through unsupervised
Synaptic stop signs,
Thoughts colliding with ideas
Arriving at synchronistic solutions
Within the cranial carnival side show
High fiving the flirtatious filaments
Of belief’s flickering flames
The carnage of conscience
Waiting for the light to change.

Congratulations on a fine, sharp write on our internal stop signs, many of which go unheeded when unsupervised by conscience. Superb use of alliteration throughout. Best wishes, Brian

from what I see the lights have a mind of their own and like to tease. Like this one. makes one think about values. Keep them coming David in NZ Where Summer has announced its coming.

I see what you've done. This is what happens when you go unsupervised. Gone rogue.
