a petition to GOD

Dear GOD, I know you are so very busy, what with handling thousands if not millions of queries, complaints and prayers about Katrina, Medan crash, poverty and whatnot, but I hope you can spare me a few minutes to go through and possibly grant me respite from my laments.

My request harms no one, but actually benefits many of your children. It can even save hundreds of lives everyday.

If you have been listening to me from 8.15 am to 8.50 am every Monday to Friday, GOD, you would know what I’m getting at by now. But, just so that we don’t have any misunderstanding, I have written it down for your reference.

I humbly request you, as the ultimate force of life, to grant common sense and brain to these people:

- to the moron who overtook me suddenly from the left lane to right without applying his signal light.

- to the moron who did apply his signal, but had his left signal on while actually turning into my right lane.

- to the moron motorcyclist who has no respect towards his own life and others on the road, and drives like a maniac without any safety consciousness.

- to the moron who turned into my lane without his signal light on and applied his brake immediately after.

- to the idiots who cut queue at the toll booths.

- to the jerk who double parks on a busy road and leaves his car unattended, causing a traffic jam.

- to the idiot who refused to move her car from the side of the road just because she was waiting for someone, even though there were many cars behind her waiting to pass through.

- to the rascals who slow freaking down to catch a glimpse of an accident scene, causing unnecessary traffic jam.

- to the “where-did-you-get-your-license” jerk who drives at 40 kmph on the fast lane.

- to the idiots who beat the traffic lights and cause accidents.

So you see GOD, as I said, should you grant my request, the world will be a better and safer place.

And I too need not get my pressure level high every morning.
