Simplicity #OpenLinkNight @dVersePoets
I refuse to acknowledge these invisible lines
that have painted me
as a resident
of a particular flag's brand...
Stinks of ownership to me
doesn't smell like being free
makes me vote for anarchy
Do you care to call my bluff?
I assure you I need no rule book
to dictate my behavior
I have a heart
that leads me
What do I win if I harm another
Steal blood from a brother
rape and destroy our great mother?
Not a world I'd want to live in.
The only ownership that can be complete in its definition
is your ownership of self...
are you ready?
It's OpenLinkNight at dVersePoets....are you ready?
Comments
Made up by fools
That try to pigeon hole
All with a goal
Send them away
See the light of day
And all will shine
Like the arse of the feline hahaha
In an ideal world, there wouldn't be all the borders and rules. Sadly, I don't think there will ever be an ideal world.
I don't want someone to just tell me why I should follow, I want them to show me what they are made of so I can decide.
"no rule book
to dictate my behavior
I have a heart
that leads me"
true independence, thank you ;-)
I agree that if all people used common sense--makes sense everywhere--then we could toss the rule books, cut our chains. I like the form of rebellion and tone of challenge that you use here in first person. No mistaking who you are talking to. And I love the power of your rhyming lines:
"Stinks of ownership to me
doesn't smell like being free
makes me vote for anarchy" and
"What do I win if I harm another
Steal blood from a brother
rape and destroy our great mother?" The rest is just marvelous attack!
"What do I win if I harm another
Steal blood from a brother
rape and destroy our great mother?"
It now seems obvious that what you win when you behave like that -- like a young male constitutionally unable to forsee consequences -- is mostly 90-day profits. Short-term gain for a few that augurs long-term loss for us all!
