‎"I’m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world." - Beyoncé

An apple from the Garden of Eden
Odd numbers that can never be even
Superman and kryptonite together
Can human nowadays live forever?
A love like that of Romeo and Juliet
Minors in casino the ones that bet
An ogre falling in love with Fiona
Can minors nowadays have some Henna?
Life as hard as that of Bonnie and Clyde
With these things, I do always have to hide
There are rules we do not want to follow
Because we always want to be hollow
But the law is the one that is lawless
There is never anything that is flawless

The author's comments:
If you would ask me why I wrote this poem, I would say "I don't know."
If you look at the poem, you may say that it is nonsense. But take a closer look and you will see what it means. Laws keep us from hurting other people and destroying other things. There are laws created for the good of everyone, I know, like the Ten Commandments. But not all laws are moral.
If my comment is longer than my poem, all I can say is "I'm NOT sorry." But I'm giving you my apologies if it caused you some problems.
