makes for a disciplined mind

never had it been declared
to abide by the rules 
self-imposed or otherwise
makes for a disciplined mind

restrictive in movements 
but just a little inconvenience 
for the returns are bountiful

better seen when not abiding
would result in unnecessary 
time and money wastage

  1. Well done Hank... abiding by the rules seems to be a hard thing for some these days. Rights and freedom at stake for one...sickness and death for the other.

  3. We all have to hunker down and abide for the sake of our fellow human beings. But it isn't always easy and for some it can even be dangerous.
