Words and us (Part I)

It is what you said the other day...
About adjustment
Why are sacrifice, adjustment, morality important?
Those drab yellowed greyish words;
that take up more space than you and me
They stifle, they encroach
they land on you with a thud
flatten the life in you...

And yet they are important
They make you upright citizens
Pillars of the society.

While we dwell on this, lets talk about life.
My life should not be boxy I know
But father said it shouldn't be a wave either;
