There's a trap in society
designed to make you fail
and never let you rise above
to realize, a completely, unfurled sail
Limitations by the legions
a crutch, a safety net
protecting all simplistic
those who won't think
about possibly
getting wet
Gauges for the ages
understanding risk and rule
turning lawful pages
to be marked a lawful, fool
Who were the targets
when did they ascend, to peak
defining to those of us
knowing limitations
and higher thought
too think?

If two roads are closed off at a four way stop, why do they leave the stop signs up? And worse yet, why do people stop?
