Rules

I write this as

I am supposed to be reading.

I write this as I am breaking a rule.

What is a rule?

What makes it okay to boss someone around?

What gives adults authority over us?

How do you define rule?

How do people come up with rules?

How do people create this nonsense?

Who came up with the idea of a ”rule”?

Who was the one who said just because you are older you can do whatever you want?

Who thought that this would be okay?

Where do we even have a record of rules?

Where? I know we don‘t.

Where did this idea come from?

Why do we listen to rules?

Why is the word rule mean what it does?

Why are there so many rules?

When did someone say “I am going to call this a rule.”

When did we start following rules?

When did we become people who can control others?

I finish this as

I am supposed to be reading.

I finish this as I am breaking a rule...

again.
