The Stop Light


Red. Yellow. Green

Red holds the power to be a great leader. Followers stop at its presence, out of respect. Even though here are a few that wish to show no honor to the red light, it in turn does nothing for punishment (thought here are others that will bring the punishment in the name of red light).

Yellow feels like a girl that is only wanted for her looks, not her brains. She knows how to take things slow and advises others to do so. She fears that most of the time her advice goes unheeded and that others only slow down to watch her make way for Red. There are the few that speed past her out of shyness. She knows how beautiful she is and that some do not wait for her out of fear.

Green is the unappreciated friend that sees all that the world holds but has no way of sharing its wisdom with the rest of humanity. We rush past Green with no intention of respect or admiration. Even after all the years of passer-bys, Green still seems to hold an air of optimism as he continues his job with out fail, allowing Yellow to maintain her place above him and Red to continue his hearty reign.
