The Law

Law is a binding custom or practice of a community. A rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority. – Merriam Webster

Who remembers
Theodore Roosevelt’s
iconic quote about the law?

Yes, I’m.

“No man is above the law
and no man is below it”,
he told us.

Then,
who knows the famous
“dura lex, sed lex”?

Yes, I’m.

Even if the law is harsh,
still, it is the law.

But,
I think
it’s rather a mystery
than certainty in
our country.

Why?
The below suffers
the almighty
punishment while
the above enjoy
the unfair compassion
of justice ’cause they
have the power
and all riches
to control
it.

Yes!
Power belongs
to those in “power”.
Wrath is for the
powerless.

Yes!
This is how we
portray Roosevelt’s
statement and define
that Latin maxim.

Pondering a Quote

Published by Rodolfo Dacleson II

I love creating sports content, especially blogs. I cover and write different sports, not limited to basketball, volleyball, football, and esports. Since junior high school, I dream of becoming of sports writer or at least someone writing sports articles for a media company. To share with you, I've achieved that dream. I'm determined to up my sports writing but you can also expect me to publish content other than my favorite category in this blog site.
