what is a law

October 19th, 2013 § 0 comments

Poem #258 for Joanne Ruocco

 

All over humanity, all the time
people discuss laws and rules as if
they are cement pillars created by nature…
but only humans make concrete.

It is amusing overhearing discussions over the
complexities and loopholes of a particular piece
of legislation because cracking the code on
intentional convoluted language
does nothing to improve the condition of
human beings as human beings;
All it does is make clearer the elemental place in society
that humans may be permitted to live in under permission
granted only by other humans and never by
nature or god itself.

A life might be saved (or ended) by such imaginary details,
true,
but a law does nothing for life itself…

This is an important detail this species of animal
should no longer ignore.
