Good laws 

Good laws are not made to be broken, they are made from many generations of hands on experience, and they are made to try and  prevent us from breaking each other or our self.

Due to personal circumstances, offenders don’t always understand if, how or why they are doing wrong, but they do know if they are breaking the law, good laws prevent us from making Life–mistakes.

​

Good laws are like rising layers of safety nets

And the higher they go the thinner they gets

Gossamer strands of kindness shimmer on top

Break too many of these and you could drop

To the lower levels of petty crime

But of course you can save a great deal of time

By committing a serious wrong, or more

For then you could plunge onto crime’s ever-falling floor

But even then, you can you climb back up again

For all good laws will always take the strain

As long as you’re not too morally overweight

For if you are, then it’s back down for you my mate

For good laws warn: 'If you are about to break me, then whether it has been placed  by  others or yourself - you’re trying to carry too heavy a weight of responsibility.' 

Those near bye will be dragged down part of the way

Possibly ruining their life (not to mention their day!)

Good laws also act like climbing nets

And the more you lighten up the higher you gets

Because, all good laws have the ability to respond

To your call to reach kindness and beyond

So share life’s burdens, for good leads to good

and bad leads to bad ... just like you knew they both would!
