A Free Verse Universe
We live in a free verse universe.
And yet, some want conformity
when it serves their own purpose.
Societal rules do not apply to all.
The only thing that is consistent
is the inconsistency of things.
Life’s only normality is
the abnormality of life.
For some, a free verse universe is a curse;
It is synonymous with chaos.
For others, anything less would be too confining;
Slavery in the disguise of conventional wisdom.
Even the laws of nature have blurred boundaries;
Bumble bees defy the laws of physics
and can only fly in the free verse universe.
Try to demand conformity
and you are doomed to fail.
Try to exist with non-conformity
and anarchy will rule.
The irony of it all?
There are defined parameters for meeting the
definition of a free verse universe.
Fly little bee, fly.
