Between The Rules And The Ruler

Sweep
Under the rug.
Keep
Your arrogant shrug.
The hammer
And the anvil.
The nail
And the cross.
The gift
And the giver.
The receiver
And the curse.
Obey or break,
The ruler is to be governed too.
Asleep or awake,
The rules are governing you.
The priest to his robe.
The lawyer to his probe.
The mason to his stone
The king to his throne.
The captain to his ship.
The chief to his whip.
Sweep
Under the rug.
Remove
The plug.
Quiet!
It’s time to kill a bug.
