Anarchy
Poetry, freedom from rules' constraint
Share emotions, politics' complaint
But this Catholic girl- not a saint
Still needs SOME rules, order, some restraint
Lest that unbridled beast make me faint
Honesty, sincerity, I ain't
Ready to face that reality paint!
Nope. I need to cage these wild words
For my morality is perturbed
By such self-exploration flight birds
Scattered here and there, they fly absurd
Threaten to leave the nest so disturbed
Rules, rhyme clip their wild wings, unheard
Still, rebellion whispers in each verb
