Looking around reveals definition
The ability to distinguish one thing from another and
Effectively navigate from here to there
By identifying the boundaries of "here" and "there"
Evidence of the parameters of existence suggests
Nothing occurs haphazardly
There is order apparent in everything
Without the unseen laws of life
There would be no existence
Rules have their reason
Those who serve the law
Protect order from the ensuing chaos which would erupt
If the borders of law were removed
Or made arbitrary
There is nothing worse in a small town
Than a sheriff who cannot do his job
Lawlessness becomes the way of the land
Life is placed in jeopardy
The same is true of a judge
Or any other leader
Who lacks the qualification, integrity and competence
To carry out the function of his respective role
He is like the substitute teacher
In a classroom busting at the seams with children
The children try him immediately
And finding weakness, exploit it
Soon the substitute is overwhelmed
By the ineptitude of his management skills
The class is in an uproar
Until a real teacher comes in
To set things in order
With a firm way
For all those children in need of structure
The spoiled brat who petitions to have his needs met
Ahead of and irrespective of the needs of others
Soon becomes the model citizen in such an environment
Complaining, begging and whining become normal
The "spoiled" go from being the few
To becoming the pround
From minority to majority
A mindless mob of selfishness
Civilization fails
The spoiled brat is a robber, a thief, and an extortionist
Taking advantage of any system under questionable leadership
To exploit from it the satisfaction of his own desires
He will try every limit
And get away with as much as he is allowed to
Those who respect the rules
Become disenfranchised and frustrated
They see that the rules are no longer respected
No longer enforced, have no more power
No one believes them
Boundaries secure freedom
Without them, the world descends into chaos
Courts headed by amateurs
Give heed to petty concerns
Do not uphold the rule of law
Are blasphemously evil
(being against life)
They should be shot
Those who sue for their so called right
To do what they please at others’ expense
They should be shot
Those who do not honor true justice
but want everything for "just us"
There was a time when
Migratory people would sometimes have among them
Those afflicted with age or disease
When the afflicted could travel no further
The group would spare one from among its members
Who would stay back to pray with the afflicted
Leave moderate provisions
Then leave the afflicted alone to die
This was the way, the understanding
The peace of life
Today we have too many
Who would dissolve the parameters of existence
Too many opinions from small minded people
About why they should be exempt from
Restrictions preserving the quality of life
Too many people in the world
Not at peace with their place
