More poems

(I'll correct spelling later, having an off day)

There are too many rules in life

That's where we all get into trouble.

It's hard to follow all the rules

No one can do them all. 

Not a single person

Not even a priest

Or haven't you heard

If we could just all listen to our hearts more

And obviously be logical to

The problem is that

Logical is different things

To different people

Based on our own heritage

Genetics

Upbringing

It all plays a role

Environment vs nurture?

Who knows. 

My point is

There are too many rules

And no one following them

So really

What's the point?

I'm not advocating anarchy. 

I'm advocating a little 

Common sense

In the policies and procedures maybe

How can you not fire a teacher that humiliates and chastises children?

How can you not fire a police officer that says we should kill all "black lives matter" people?

Does that make any sense

To anyone

I'm not advocating against labor unions

The been great too

They got us our short (8) hour days 

They got children out of factories

What I'm saying is we need 

More love 

Right

We need more compassion

In this world. 

No one is perfect

But we need people to BE ABLE to stand up for the right thing

To do the right thing

No matter what

For example

And I know it's a really bad one because there are far too many sides to it. And I'll try to think of a much better one.

The government now is handing down one of the harshest sentences ever for treason

To someone who provided proof that the government is spying on its own people.

It seems to me she did he right thing

Maybe along the way she de it wrong

I don't know

But how can we chastise her for having the right intentions

Listen to that lovely Crosby, Stills & Nash song "teach your children".
