Rules

I guess I am a fine rule follower.

That is what I do all the time and rhyme.
This is what I have always thought brother.
At least I think, that is not a bad crime.

Rules make me want to follow them, I might?
What if I did not do what they said wrong?
You would obviously think that in the night.
But what of Day, what then, can you be strong?

Could you rise up against the king and queen?
Be the french in the french revolution?
Can you do it? Do it, scrub your soul clean.
You can get away from this pollution.

But yet again rules are important.
Without them things are unimportant.


The author's comments:

A sonnet about rules, because rules are every where and we use them all the time, but why and why do we follow them is a bigger question.
