"Rules"

There are no rules

There is no right way

There is no wrong way

There is nothing by which

To measure what is right

What is wrong

And yet

There are rules

There is a right way

There is a wrong way

There is only this

To measure what is right

Or wrong

We do so by

What feels so

And what does not

We do so by

Understanding

That we are all

Human beings

All experiencing things

In different ways

And yet

We also do so by

Realizing

That we are all

Human beings

And all have similar reactions

To things like pain or poverty

And so

And so

Live your life in a way

That makes you happy

Live your life in a way

That does not make others

Unhappy

This is a great

Rule of thumb for

How to fix the world

Why can't we ever

As human beings

Seem to do this?
