I have it, they have it and so do you!

Poetic Dan

There is an outlaw that lives inside us all
The moral compass that won't be fooled

 

For we can make up these endless rules
No one other than us makes it enforceable

 

As I walk pass a white van I see its all true
I'm not the only one fed up with this tool

 

I've never agreed and neither did you
To be treated like we're immature fools

 

Holding back information never to be seen
Making class separation by printing the Queen

 

Just take a look on a fifty pound note
You will see there power is no joke

 

A cog on this wheel I gladly was once
Now I march to the beat of my own drum

 

Where we end corruption, war and poverty
Remembering we all have the right to be

 

Like the trees sun moon and stars
Unwritten laws were given long before us

    I love those last two lines. Im that rebel who lives within the rules but flouts them when i can get away with it.
    Yes those rules were written by 'nature' long before a man tried out new ones, long before they invented religion to scare people into submission, long before we clothed ourselves with civilisation.

    Hey i've got a huge white van. You've given me ideas with that picture.

    • Poetic Dan

      That last line definitely had you in mind 😉
      I found that seeing this van kept my sprite high, we all want to make the changes to have a better life!

        Super write Dan and so true, we should follow the ways within us that we know to be right.

          Doesn't matter what country - the mess is everywhere and I agree, we have to be rebels........
