He has the power to stop the flow of life, <br />To hold the pulse with the wave of a hand <br />And resume in stop and go the motion, <br />Humanity in suspended animation. <br /> <br />Unruly wheelers are held on their tracks, <br />An impudent hack, a road menace stilled <br />And hurtling pedestrians freezing in mid stride, <br />All eyes on one wielding the magical might. <br /> <br />What godly power is this <br />In the hands of one so mortal? <br />Suspending life as he pleased <br />All for so trivial a notion.<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-god-at-the-intersection/
