A Riddle for Solving - Can you identify the subject of this poem?

It had four score and ten years
of pent-up, surging power,
like stallions pounding the earth,
raising furious dust clouds
as they escaped their corrals.

Throbbing, thrusting energy
propelled the earthbound missile
toward the innocent people
in its hell-bent path.

The lure of gold couldn't stop it,
it only lunged forward
in an age-old macho challenge
over and over again
until a red ball of fire
stopped it
in its screeching tracks.

It paused, snarling and hissing,
waiting,
sulking,
its power thwarted
as the innocents proceeded.

Finally,
satisfied
that the order of power
has been restored,
the omnipotent emerald eye
gave it leave to proceed.

Car. Crosswalk. Traffic light.

Ctrlshiftspace, you got it right. very good.
