Laws of Man

Laws of Man



Preserving life - Altering amendments
Conserving law - Overruling defendants
A city breathing within these walls
Suffocating justice throughout these halls

A world of madness rooted firm
Harmless impairments of no concern
Still there is reason - This I have been told
Purpose awaits reason - ‘ Turn, Turn, Turn ‘
Accommodating each and every passing season

To everything turn - In which direction
Desire seeking true perfection
A world of madness it drives you crazy
Consoled by Prozac - Horizons appear hazy

In the center it spins around
Creating more reason to be found
This ‘ Age of Prozac ‘ will profits exceed
Marching forward - Many minds to feed
Numb to feel - Bitter pill to swallow
A past to heal - A reason will follow

An infinite reason - The Choir Sings
“ A Purpose under Heaven for Everything “
This purpose still uniquely questioned
Invoking faith for the eternal resurrection
Pleading answers for your soul’s protection

While the axis turns without regret
Depraved reasons I can’t forget
The long arm of the law to your right
Complete surrender spares the fight

Laws of nature - Hard to bend
Laws of society - Conditions depend
Freedom conceived in a garden of misfortune
Commencing ceremony springs reception
Guarding tomorrow’s fruitful inception
Along with morality’s creative deception

Conception’s of man - Define meaning
Accepting means to the end
Awaiting purpose once again
The gavel has landed - No motion granted
The verdict’s been handed - The compass is set
Stealing life with all due respect!

It certainly is a mad world in which we live and history shows us that it always has been. Sometimes I think that humanity, despite what it might say, must secretly love the madness because we seem to find so many ways to excuse it and keep it around. I think you have captured the core of it in this poem.
