Normalcy

People must be crazy

To live just like they do

Silent mouthed except for

Foul words except for

Loved ones, who get hugs

But only when they are nearby

As if we must conserve them.

People must be crazy

To live just as they are

Constantly planning for death

And the forecasted destruction

Of the whole wide world, like

It’s a foregone fact. And yet

They still refuse to take a

Spur of the moment day off.

People must be crazy

To act just like they have        

Spewing reactions as if they

Know all the answers      

As if to be wrong is to be

Diseased, so instead they will settle

For being ignorant, not

Willing to stay still long enough

To learn the truth of others.                     

But these people keep telling me

Majority rules, and I cannot help

But hug everyone, even           

The distant ones and I take every

Spurred day I can to take a little

Vacation to celebrate that the world,

She is still here, and I try

To avoid ignorance but I make being

Wrong a bit of a habit, I want

To learn everything over and over again

So I guess that makes me

The crazy one.
