who we must restrict

Her husband tried to restrict her diet
Causing a disturbance and a riot
Would you like to see?
How crazy this would be?
I dare you to go ahead and try it....

To Be Rigid and Firm 

Stonewall should be ridged and firm;
Not allow things to wiggle or squirm;
Did predict,
Will restrict,
Advance of whale which is a sperm.

Laws restrict
but can’t constrain
What happens freely
the light reclaims    
     
Cause and effect
together apart
Squaring the circle
—the horse and the cart

Trust me, have I ever lied to you before
You tickle my pickle and so much more
There should be a law
To restrict my awe
Else I'll gush on the floor as I rush out the door

Huh???...

Trust me, have I ever lied to you before
You tickle my pickle and so much more
There should be a law
To restrict my awe
Else I'll probably gush all over your floor

How can anyone restrict creativity, it ain't possible
When the idea invades your mind, it's already audible
We hear inner thoughts
Believe it or not
Need a brain muzzle to protect your gemolicals...

Let go of your
hand grip
let go of
the past
Take fate as
a lover
betrothed
and recast
Your belt
and suspenders
restrict
and constrain
Release
your indemnity
free
—once again

Does the U.S. Constitution speak of marriage at all
   Does it restrict giving birth to the Spring or the Fall…

The Bill of Rights reserves many matters to the states
   When federal courts interfere, what a mess they create...

Had a thought and realized it was quite solitary
Also detected it had a certain amount of hostility
Asked if it could have a buddy
Said no... one at a time, there sonny
Then it threatened to restrict my sexual ability...

It's been proven that sex is the leading cause of people
A mind-blowing discovery that might result in sex being illegal
To restrict its activity
Put people in captivity
It's the scourge of mankind and womankind and beagles...

Sitting here wondering if monkeys really mind
I eat a banana a day, perhaps a petition they've signed
To restrict my consumption
Enforce a reduction
Maybe we can convince them on an all dressed pizza to dine

serpent wake up now and
bask in the rays of the morning
joy in the rays of the sun
glory is ever returning 
the earth and the heavens are one
pain is only a warrning 
pleasure , a measure of truth
restrict not your true will's yearning
for then you will ever be doomed...

My energy and thoughts are expressed most often by words.
The way my love visits.
Not to capture you,
but to be there,
where it can be found.
Hopefully this gentle prose reaches you deeply on this occasion,
fulfilling my intent to stay joined in spirit,
distance can't restrict....

Rhyming a poem is
Required in ancient days
Remember those long past
Reflections found in verse
Reminders of our worth
Resilient and rare we
Restrict the word count too

Remember you can't hold onto everything
Energy that's negative restrict your growth
Let it go now, before it totally drains you
Everything you experience is for a reason
Allow yourself to learn from everything
Sooner that you let go of all the negativity
Enjoying a new found freedom in your life...

While standing on the mountain top
It's easy to look down,
At those who climb and climb nonstop
Who live in tiny towns.

But I prefer the valley through
That's cradled like a cup,
Where mountain walls restrict my view
Towards Heaven looking up.

Stranglehold; 
The tough grip around that
Restrict movement and results
Asphyxiation!  
Narrowing the group 
Great possibility to 
Limit and tighten activities and
Execution!
Hold on attention, 
Overpower,
Lofty perch and 
Dominance prevailed!

Freedom of speech does not exist.
The minute one says how they feel
from their perspective, restrictions 
run a muck.

I get that one must be respectful 
and not offensive.
However, if you restrict a person’s 
content and message, they won’t 
be able to “Tell it like it is.”

You can’t
embrace reality
forever

Its tenets
restrict
and constrain

By definition
it renames
itself

Once spoken
to then be
disclaimed

What comes
upon you
the moment laced

Where vacuums
exit
in time and space

Regenerates
from life’s
cocoon

In endless
cycles
—moon to moon

I am the water flowing so free,
Your scorn and ridicule cannot restrict me.
I am the air you breathe to survive,
No wonder, without me, you find it hard to thrive.
I am the sky you want to reach,
Be careful of what you preach.
Shoot all your arrows, darts and spears galore,
For when I am gone, you will be bereaved, crestfallen, and hollow....

Guns don't kill people
But bullets do
So keep all your guns
But make bullets taboo

Restrict cartridge sales
Like any jet flight
With proof of ID
& registered right

Limit each purchase
To  registered guns 
Make mothers happy
With long-living sons

Bullets kill loved ones
& people we know
So give every shooter
A tough row to hoe!...
