Normal <br />by Barbara Lynn Terry <br /> <br />Normal is a concept, <br />Strictly for the inept, <br />As they sit, laugh and judge, <br />And refuse an inch to budge, <br />At what they intentionally misunderstand. <br /> <br />If you think you are so normal, <br />Then why are you so formal, <br />In your thoughts and deed, <br />And care not who others are, <br />Or what they may need? <br /> <br />There is no such thing as normal, <br />Because people are just who they are, <br />From all around and so very far. <br />But the ones that judge it seems, <br />Don't care why, and just deem <br />That others are queer it would seem, <br />Simply because they are different. <br /> <br />Being 'different' is not the same as being wrong, <br />An we have the right to live amongst the throng. <br />Those that judge others by looks alone, <br />Have no clue or don't seem to care how others are born, <br />They just judge, hate and fear, something that isn't even clear, <br />To the so-called 'normal' that is in plain view worn, <br />On Their sleeve for all the world to see, <br />How really righteous they are in keeping the sanctity of society <br />Clean of all the abnormal people, who without piety, <br />Cannot be allowed to have the same rights, <br />As anyone else lest society be swallowed up in the fight, <br />Which is for the common good because you are not normal. <br /> <br />© 2006 by Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/normal/
