World Go By

I watch the world go by,
I watch the people die.
I’m here every day,
While you go your way.
I hope to see you again,
From the outside looking in.
I’m never given a thought
But I’ll forever be sought.
You won’t stop to talk to me,
But you will go right past me.
It’s boring up here,
I want to be there.
I watch the people run,
I want to have some fun.
I watch the cars go past,
Every one not the last.
I see how the crashes start,
Definitely the worst part.
I blink all through the night,
I’m your favorite stop light.
