Law
Thou art,
Clever
Witty
Stupid.

Deceptive
Cheat
“Just”.

Clear
Confused
Convulsive.

You
twist &
turn &
trigger
Expectations, hopes, fears and fright.

You’re
everything
to everybody.
Copulent yet clinical.
Everyone’s mistress.
But loyal to one,
And only One Master – (the ruling class).

I envy you,
Hate you,
Admire your virility,
From a distance.

Use you, seemingly,
Destroy you, theoretically.

By God!
I Am
Not You.
