Speech to the Young: Rules

January 16, 2017

“Follow the rules,”

“Buckle your seatbelt,”

instructions you hear in and out of school. 

 

You feel like a tool,

extreme expectations, 

authorities seem to have become cruel. 

 

One will call you a fool

despite your decision

while others continue to think that you’re cool.

 

“Follow the rules,”

“Buckle your seatbelt,”

abiding by such can change lives.
