Poetry: The Unwritten Rules and It's Never Safe

The Unwritten Rules

The sun is about to fall from the sky 

Don't be here when it's gone

"Why?" 

"That is wrong, wrong, wrong!" 

"I'll stay here until the dead of night..."

"Do not speak recklessly, always be careful with your words

Death is your only right especially if you're here after that sun falls

This rule isn't on the books but it's law! 

Get the fuck outta here before we are under the shadow of the moon.

Death is the law for you"

But there are so many rules unwritten, that rule that define

Most laws do not have to be available on some town charter

The mores of a society are not only guided by the codes of their constitutions and 

What has been codified and ordained, declared and decreed 

Most often they are guided by the morality, the moral compass of corrupt adjudicators

Who can enforce a path for or against the overall moral compass of a society

Is that what is written in these law books here?

These laws do not apply to you or anyone like you but these laws over here

Are overwhelming your burden

You must act within this stricter, you only

There are laws that do apply and there are licenses that do not have to be obtained 

These laws and licenses these ordinances aren't written but well known 

So well known they don't have to be written it is innate 

Like baseball, if you play the game you know the unwritten rules

All societies have their unwritten rules, codes of honor, deals based solely upon trust

A hermetic bond
We are not imminently governed by the written laws 

We barter, we trade, we contract without type without documentation most often

"The sun is down and you're still here you're breaking the law."

"Says who?"

"Me and everyone else in this town. We understand jurisprudence we understand the right to a fair trial but around here YOU are automatically, instantaneously, condemned, we do not need a court or a judge's chambers to justify what comes from this barrel this chamber. Are you ready? The sun has fallen."

"I will not live by those rules! The written law is on my side, the written law is on my side."

"Why do you think any law applies to you? Written or unwritten? Who cares?

Raise your right hand!"

POW!

"Raise your left!"

POW! 

"Raise them both!!" 

POW! POW!
"Don't raise them, like your children

Do raise them like surrender or worship 

People just aren't that smart today, they are dumb oh idiotic, oh stupid, stupendous 

They pretend to know the rules they don't know 

But they do

Especially when it comes to us, I mean you

It's Never Safe

This plan... I mean plan...

I mean pandemic tells me

When I had a cold

And worked through it, and was praised

By my boss, colleagues 

That they were actually

Happy that I killed

Inadvertently, many 

Probably millions 

I should have stayed home that day
