A Lawless Life
Lawless Life
A lawless life is like a spore tossed in wind,
finding nowhere for rooted life to become,
and lost to a fickle turbulence
that may brandish in flight, freedom,
yet fail in purpose, in propagation.
Without structure life is a soul tossed to chance,
to the beat of reckless connection,
and in the darkness of illicit dreams,
darkness consumes and modifies the mind and flesh,
to lust for the delusion of respect and gain.
Tis not laws that hold a mind to servility,
it is the parameters they represent
in morality accepted, and the comfort of transparency,
the covert mind of lawlessness,
a burden of imbalance and lies.
Conscience is sacrificed for justification,
belief in righteous path given circumstance,
yet truth may whisper on deaf ears,
the delusion of gratification by control,
when control is a tenuous state of opinion.
The vortex of dark lawless life is strong,
and reason narrowed to slender bounds,
where choice is seen as negligible,
and pain given, accepted and received, just life,
when a soul is lost to lawlessness.

A very appropriate photo to head this beautifully descriptive scenario of lawlessness. Back in the day, I use to be given my father’s shouldered pistol to play with, of course he would empty the chamber. I would run around our flat shouting, Pow, Pow, as if I was a cowboy chasing down outlaws. Yes indeed, some members of my family fought the law, but ultimately the law won.
Glad you related Vincent, that’s one thing I will never understand, is the want to be armed: the US is a perfect example of why it just doesn’t work. Cheers!
