The Rules by Stacey Brooks
There once was a list on the wall,
That also claimed to know it all,
“Follow, don’t break,” it would say,“
Or everything falls apart one day.”
Stay quiet, stay small, stay in line,
Don’t question the grand design,
Do what you’re told, don’t think twice,
Play it safe and always be nice.
But someone just whispered, “Why?”
And gave it a conscious try,
They bent just a rule or two,
Nothing it promised came true.
No thunder, no crash, not even a fall,
Not even an end to it all,
Just space where fear used to be,
And room to simply be free.
Now the list still hangs on the wall,
Still acting like it knows it all,
But fewer believe what it says,
And more just keep going instead.
Just for fun, on lunch break and clearly bored...
