Between The Rules And The Ruler

Like a horse and its rider
These two only meet on the mat of convenience
The former only counts for the later when there’s a race.

Though they ply the same path,
Their destinations are worlds apart.
They are only occasional counterparts.

Though the rider grows the horse,
It is never a part of his family.
He only uses it to trample the racecourse,
Occasionally, to plough his fields.

The rules and the rulers,
The horse trainer never feeds from its stable.
