Law - Unnecessary or Unused

⚖

I was on my way to find an answer,

An answer of question,

That's hard to answer

Yet all should know.

I found an old man.

He was as wise as an owl

And also as old as time.

I sat beside him and asked,

"What is law?"

He opened his eyes.

He told me to ask my heart.

I did that and my heart said,

"It's to save good people

That law exists?"

Again he told me ask to my brain.

This time I said,

"It's to punish the bad,

That's why law exists."

The old man shook his body

And asked,

"What's the difference between your answers?"

I thought about that and strangely,

I found the both same.

He again spoke,

"It is law that is never used"

I took a step back.

"How can law never be used",

I asked.

He replied Like you said,

"It is law that is to save good people

And to punish the bad.

But have you ever seen that?

I thought for a second

But no clear answer came

He again spoke,

"Law is a necessary decoration

That's never used.

If a ruler is bad,
law is unused.
And if the ruler is good,
law is unnecessary.
But it must exist.

I found my answer and bade farewell.

I started a new journey,

A journey to make law unnecessary,
Not unused.
