Made-up Rules

Can be changed




I’ll let that sink in



Imagine that

“Rules” made-up

Out of electrified

Spongey gray matter

Escaping a thick skull

Can be changed to

Suit the rule makers



Congress persons

Senators

Presidents (executive orders)

Communities

Businesses

Sports *

And………

Parents

Probably the biggest

Maker and breaker

Of temporary rules



* Basketball started with 13, now has over 100




Infinite rules

In infinite ways

Declarations

Constitutions

Amendments

Commandments

Absolutes

And “rules”



Why?


Because they are made-up

In the first place by those

Who feel compelled

To control or guide “others”

In ways to suit their agenda

With very few to benefit the “ruled”


“The kids have rules to live up to, but most of the rules were tough. They had some good rules, y’know, I don’t mean to put them down. Parents had some pretty good rules. No running with the scissors. That’s one I never disobeyed. Made sense to me. This big mother’ll go right through me. “What are you doing?” “I’m not running with the scissors…for one thing.” They had a couple more good rules. They had another one: No sticking your head out of the high speed railroad train window. Say, goddamn, Dad, good rule. Doesn’t want our heads chopped off. Fantastic, Dad.

But then they had some dumb rules: No running in the hall. Where ya gonna run? In the rooms? Gotta keep turning in the rooms, man, s**t! You can’t get up any speed at all, man, s**t! Hallways were made for runners. The hallway sprint – try to take that quick right before you crash into the statue of the Sacred Heart- man blow everybody… blow the whole feast day.

They had another dumb rule: No singing at the table. Why not? One guy with a bad voice fucked it up for everybody else? No singing at the table. How about humming? No, by extension, humming and whistling included. There’s no such rule as no screaming at the top of your lungs at the table. That ought to be good to try that. Show me the rule. You could stand right next to the table and sing your ass off. Just don’t sit down, man.

🎵”I’m standing near the table during dinner and I’m singing and it isn’t even covered by……….. your rules.” 🎵

“Sit down, you.” That was your middle name…you. “Come here, you.”

– George Carlin



With minimal research

All religions advise

In one form or another that

Thou shalt not kill

While clearly stated

Is vague as all get out

All depends on who

May be getting killed

Much more flexible if

The killee is of …..

A different religion

Then the one whose rule

States “Thou shalt not kill”

Perhaps, they should have a meeting???

Maybe suggest sharing their rules….

You know to make the game easier to play since

“Life is sacred”

Who said so? God? Hey, if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death! Has been for thousands of years! Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians; all taking turns killing each other because God told ’em it was a good idea. The sword of god, the blood of the lamb, ‘vengeance is mine’; millions of dead motherfuckers. Millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to The God Question:

“Do you believe in God?” “No.” BAM! Dead.

“Do you believe in God?” “Yes.”

“…Do you believe in my God?” “No.” BAM! Dead.

“My God has a bigger dick than your God!”

Likewise various governments

Federal, state and local

Have rules stating that it is illegal

To kill people…… Hey good rule

Unless, the Federal government

Needs a few of their volunteers

Who signed up to kill people

To……get this, ………go kill people

Giving them what is known as

Qualified immunity since they now have

A James Bond license to kill

Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
