Society

What is Society
A set of rules to follow
or ways to live a life
What others feel you should do
standards , some basic, some civil others federal
How can you be yourself, an individual
free from chains, morals, beliefs
all from a book, a paper, constitution, 1776
but today is 2026
Societies path follows a brick road to a picket fence, or 
a basket parked by the line giving a hot meal,
a rock hard sidewalk, a car covered window,
tap tap tap, gotta move
Where does the path lead
Gotta choose, dust the dirt off
make a change for another place in
Society
