If profit is your single cause
then limit not the market.
Let them starve on foreign shores
that will guarantee your target.
.
If speed be used to measure skill
then limit not velocity.
Just beware that this might kill
when absent is sobriety.
.
If it's pedestals that make us fall,
from grace to deep depravity,
then maybe we should ban them all
so forcing not the hand of gravity.
.
Stupid thoughts will incubate;
hence, the need to regulate.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
