“NORMAL”

           

Normally,
normality wouldn’t even raise a brow
Though, nowadays can’t shake the
“every second craze” of madness now...

I’ve not yet lived a phase in life where
I could honestly say, “I’m livin’ the dream”
N’ seriously for those who claim they are
I question their truth as ‘eye-screen...’

The air...the world seems to be in a nightmare
neverendin’ as if God isn’t tendin’ his sheep
feels like I’m locked in a fogged, feverish sleep

but that can’t be,
because all I see makes me weep...

The many dyin’ of a pandemic, the sickness
of hate, a system so systemic, the vile villainy
of greed, that need for power...my ‘taste’ for
hope beginnin’ , edgin’ closer to sour...

There’s a litany of crap swirlin’ in a world full
of shit, can’t help but ponder if this is “IT...”

Has God tired of our MAN(un) KIND(ness)??
Is this yet another sign to find... US?
I’m aware HE our most high has designed us
but really, are we anywhere near worth the fuss??

For me, normal in actuality has never actually
been what I would define as normal, but
bein’ TRULY to my soul honest...?

 I’d happily return to a time when
 “normal” felt like the state of  US...
