The Self-Ruled

Rigid rules are for the fools
who need to be reigned
or else they will run unruly
For only rules can rule
these rebels who do not use
their heart or mind
to know wrong from right

Thinking minds obey the laws
but set their own unsaid rules
Rules, they better not break,
for they know, if broken, it won’t
annoy some ruling authority
but crush and break,
their very own identity
their inner integrity

My above poem is in response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Breaking the Law.”

The rules below cited at infographicaday, are worth following, though no penalty for non-followers

It is okay to break a law if no one finds out. But, you’re right, in a way.

Rules are made to be broken?
Yes, you can esp say that as you have your whole life ahead of you : ). So you want to learn through your own experiences and mistakes.

    Sorry dear! I didn’t mean to offend you 🙂
    Actually somewhere in your ‘About Bloggirl’ you have stated that you have your whole life ahead of you…makes you giddy with anxiety…so I was merely pulling your leg on that.
    I’ll surely read your Break A Law.
