Rules


Rules are rules.

Everywhere you go there are rules.

Rules for different ages.

Rules for different groups.

What are rules?

Who makes them?

What happens when they are not followed?

The rules are here for a reason.

What is that reason?

Why are there rules?

Rules where made when?

And how?

Rules are here to guide us.

That is what some say.

How to they help?

How do they hurt?

Are rules—rules?
