Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Are All These Laws Really Necessary

The advancement of a law that spins
People into a tizzy for reasons maybe unknown even to themselves
Might make sense to professional, arrogant, all-knowing law makers
or lawyers but maybe not so much sense to us regular folks

The evolution of life and humanity is such that we seem to demand
forever after rules, maybe even deeming them necessary as we overpopulate ourselves to a choking degree and kill our planet by not taking care of it with any thought at all.

But are all of these written rules for other folks truthfully 
necessary, or just a way for pompous self-appointed
aristocrats to make a name for themselves by making
yet another silly law?

Gershon Wolf May 23, 2019 at 7:26 PM True, on the one hand. On the other hand there's this: "Pray for the welfare of the government, i.e., the lawmakers. For with it, a man would swallow his fellow man alive" Chanina, Assistant High Priest, Jerusalem, about 2200+ years ago... Food for thought, anyway. :) gw Caren Krutsinger May 24, 2019 at 1:05 AM Oh, believe me, I am praying every day for we are the government after all, are we not?
