Speed kills

‘Speed kills’ is the message for drivers of automobiles.

This message is now relevant to guys living in the fast lane too.

There is hardly any one lingering in the chilled out lane.

Everybody is in a hurry to get the most, fastest.

Is it worth it?

No time to think.

Stairway to heaven beckons.

    Excellent point well made.

    I've got a super-slow lane chill out, right over here!

    Good point through your 55. And it's amazing how bent out of shape people can get through road rage.

    Hmmn, yes. I find myself saying out loud in traffic sometimes "Why are they going so fast?" Just seems no need.

    Heaven can wait. Remember that Meatloaf line?? Heaven better wait a bit, I mean a LOT, longer for me. :)

    The laid back lane is the place for the people in the know.

    I nodded the whole time I read this. And that last line should be made into a bumper sticker.

    Thoughtful work.

    As it is, it's solid. This would be excellent, if shown (via a story/tale-telling poem), not told - tell a story about a fast lane person; given the strength of the idea, it should be nothing for a writer like you to transform this into an indelible work.

    Suggestion aside, smart stuff.
