Many are not obeyed.
Some are antiquated and should be erased.
Others make absolutely no sense at all.
I live in a place where each town has separate laws,
From a town that may be inches away!
And then within communities they have implied ‘rules’.
Now there is talk to pass a law in a major city
That would make it an offense to ignore someone laying in the streets…
After being hit by a car or passing out!
Can it be believed that humanity has progressed
To advance beyond expressing empathy?
Or having a sensitivity that has to be addressed by laws?
‘This’ is not a healthy sign,
That the people of today are dieting to enhance their minds.
But then…
How can something empty be enforced to do anything.
Except make excuses to invite abuse on any level!
And to leave someone laying in the street…
Is the height of a mental disturbance unrecognized!
