Rules has varying definitions to all, this poetry has few of its shades and its characteristics.
Rules
either means world to some,
or just a line in a document.
Such are varying definitions.
Rules
can make your life,
or can break your life.
Such is an impact of it.
Rules
are living if practiced by roots,
else can uproot even your tiny shoot.
Such is its nature.
Rules
sometimes are confusing,
and sometimes are pampering.
Such is diversity it beholds.
Rules
can make free person caged,
or can make caged person feel free.
Such is the value of place for it.
Rules
What does it mean to you?
It is foundation of your stature.
Do you have any clue?
We wish you a Happy Republic Day and hope all abide by the great constitution, which laid the strong foundation of our country. We believe Rules are parallel track of life; so be the one who respects the law, regulations and constitution.

Rules can be confusing, but the truth is without rules freedom might not taste as sweet :)
ReplyDeleteYes Zainab, rules make the freedom more cherished.
DeleteRules are good and necessary only if realistic
ReplyDeleteRules in practical approach should be fine with each one of us.
DeleteRules may annoy at many times but you need some discipline in life. And this comes with the rules you abide by.
ReplyDeleteRules do bring discipline in life and also guide us.
DeleteRules may seem as boundation but they gives us a strong foundation. Rules in moderation is always helpful and effective.
ReplyDeleteVer apt words for the post Alpana.
DeleteHowever hard it may seem, following rules is a good thing. Rules in moderation always bring discipline in life.
ReplyDeleteFollowing rules with their understanding makes life more easier and simpler.
DeleteIt is said that rules are meant to be broken but according to me rules are needed to maintain a balance but rules need to be revisited time and again and changes need to be done if needed.
ReplyDeleteRules are very important. It is a double-edged sword. As you said they can make or break a person. The repercussion depends on whether the rules are fair or not. It should be beneficial to the majority. This is such a thought provoking poem. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy republic day. Your poem is indeed a thought-provoking one. You have analysed the different aspects of rules comprehensively. As you said rules can be the foundation for the longer good.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to tell about our country as well as rules. No doubt they migh be discomforting at times but they are must, to keep everyone equal.

I believe rules are so important for any aspect of life and they bring a discipline in our lifestyle. without rules, it is hard to maintain consistency in any thing and at the end it affect our work and overall life quality.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many thoughts I have on rules, and it differs from every age group, but one thing I always believe is rules brings punctuality!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Republic Day to you too. Yes, rules are to be followed by and large but I also feel sometimes it's ok to break the rules.
ReplyDeleteRules define your boundaries. It helps you to be more focused and disciplined in your life. Not many of us like rules as some times it holds you back for doing things your own way.
ReplyDeleteRules can have both a positive and negative side depending on how and who they affect. I like some, break some. That's an interesting poem!
ReplyDeleteRules are created to bring order in our lives however it needs to be seen as an enabler. Your lines rules can set a caged person free or make a person feel caged resonate with me.
ReplyDeleteRules are important, as they set adequate boundaries, but rigid rules also become claustrophobic and come in the way of change.
ReplyDeleteNo one likes rules but they are essential. We set rules for ourself as well but tend to break them sometimes and evryone enjoys the freedom once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI feel rules are important, they keep us in check and disciplined. And for the sake of our country and constitution we should abide by rules no matter what. I really liked the poem & your choice of words.
ReplyDeleteMy dad would say Rules are meant to be broken..on a lighter note of course. But, personally I am a great stickler for rules but we Indians just do not respect any.
ReplyDeleteOur entire life is based on certain rule or the other. And somehow we have to follow them too. This is a very nice poem.
ReplyDeleteSome think that rules are harsh but infact life can only proceed if there are rules laid down otherwise everything can go haywire.
ReplyDeleteWhen young rules seems like restrictions that stop you from flying. When you mature rules are the anchor that help you stay grounded amidst all the balls that life throws at you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes keeping rules in life are important to maintain that balance but sometimes it feels very heavy on mind . You have explained really well.
ReplyDeleteVery well-written. Rules can be restricting but at the same time they keep us in discipline. They are definitely needed to keep law and order in check in our country.
ReplyDeleteRules for me is something that keeps us disciplined. It is very important to have some ground rules with which you build the foundation for your child. What a thought provoking topic!
ReplyDeleteA lovely ode to rules.
ReplyDeleteI think rules are very important and more important than that is to abide by them. Something which people really need to understand.
This is such a thought provoking piece. Rules are confusing indeed. Sometimes we follow them happily and sometimes we try to tweak them for our convenience.
ReplyDeleteFor me rules are a part of disciplining myself against doing a certain unlawful or unjust thing. So it is not really a boundation for me and I rarely feel caged.
