Myth of Democracy
rules change
I get that
this is not a democracy
I get that
we can bite and complain
but no one has a choice
we can’t force rule makers
to unmake the rules
we can’t force rule followers
to stop following
rules they have no control over
what is enforced
is not by choice
but by the mandate of others
others whom
we have voted into power
to make rules
there is no even playing field
rules change
but usually not
in the middle of a game
of a fight
we are responsible
for knowing what those rules are
for reading the fine print
for understanding the fine print
for being able to sense
what community standards are
even when we aren’t
a part of that community
if what is illegal there
is legal here
we can’t find balance
because
even to question their rules
is breaking their rules
