I’m afraid of not complying.
Laws say that I must comply:
Whether living, dead, or dying,
I must do it, not just try —
If they think I’m non-compliant
Then the law will bring its weight;
I might want to be defiant,
But that will not turn out great —
So: comply I must, and often
To their many command-ments:
“Thou shalt have no car or coffin
That exceeds our measurements”
My big fear is not complying.
It’s my biggest one, each day:
Whether living, dead or dying,
Governments
Will have
Their way

Owen, I’m enjoying your poetry with its vivid imaginings. You are definitely showing not telling!
