"Normal" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 28/8/2013

Now It Seems That NORMALITY Is Needing Some CLARITY ... !!!
For Some Within The Family That We Now Call …. " Humanity " ….

But What Is That … EXACTLY … ?!?

When It Now Seems That VANITY ...
Not Only FILLS Mentalities ... But Seems To Make Most HAPPY ... !!!

So Is THAT … " NORMAL " … ?!?
When This CLEARLY Leads To … " shortfalls " … !!!
Where Normality Stalls And Fakeness' Draws …
The Cards That Call For Time In Realms Where Sickness Dwells …
In The Minds of Hoards Who Are … WAY OFF COURSE … !!!!!!!

SICKNESS of The Mind Is Now NORMAL To Kinds …
Who Cannot Decide How To Live Their Life … ???

Normality To Them Comes With … " PROBLEMS " … !!!!!
And MANY Now Attempt To Prove To Themselves That They're NOT Unwell … !!!

It's Not Hard To Tell That Their Heads SWELL …
With ABNORMAL Thoughts That Show That Their Core Is FAR FROM PURE … !!!!!

Normality And Purity Embrace The Same … " SURELY " … ???

Well Maybe NOT Cos' NORMAL Bods …
Who Choose To ROB Are Normally Locked …
With Those Whose Plots Felt Shots From COPS ... !!!!!

So Is Your Job A … " NORMAL One " … ???

What Does That Mean … !!?!!
When Jobs Like The Police CLEARLY Indulge In BRUTALITY ... !!!!!?!!!!!

Now Soldiers Are COLDER And Don't Rub Shoulders ...
With Everyday Workers Their Work DEMANDS Fervour ... !!!!!!
That Deals With Blood ... ALL OVER Their Hands ...
When VIOLENCE Floods Where Foreign Troops Land … !!!

AIN'T NOTHING NORMAL Bout' THAT ... !!!
... And THAT'S Just FACT … !!!!!!!

Death Is NORMAL ... MURDER Is NOT … !!!!!!

Thus ... Dress That's FORMAL Goes With Teardrops …
At Funerals Where A Loved One's LOST ... !!!!!!

Right There I'll STOP.
Cos' Those Last Words In Poetic Verse …
May Make Jaws ... DROP … ?!?

So I'll Move On And Go Back To … " JOBS " ...
Is A Nine To Five How You Live Your Life … ???

Or Do You Have Time To Sit And Write Through Words That Rhyme …
Your Views About Crimes And …. ABNORMAL Minds ... ???

Now That Sounds Like MINE … !!!!!

But Don't Get It Confused … !!!
I've Paid My DUES In Rooms And Offices …
Where The NORMAL Response Is ...

... " Do as you're told, until you go home !
... Otherwise, don't come to work NO MORE !"

Being Treated Like WHORES … !!!
To Aid The Cause of Those On Boards ...

The Type Who ENSURE That You Stay POOR … !!!
While They ….. BREAK LAWS ….. !!!!!!

Which Seems To Be The NORM ...
For They And Their Friends …

….. " Politicians and Lords " ….. !!!!!!!!

Their Normality Sends Some To Their End …
In The Name of …. " DEFENCE " …. !!?!!

NOT JUST In Wars ... It's THEM Who Ensure …
That Redundancy Blends Reduce Their Workforce … !!!
So They Have To Pay LESS And Can YES … Collect MORE … !!!!!

Normality Draws So Many DIFFERENT Pictures …

That It's Hard To Be SURE Who's NORMAL Or A Mister … ?!?

Who SEEMS Normal Til' Elixirs Show What DEFINES … " His INNER " … !!!
A Figure Who's A SINNER Or An ... ABSOLUTE Beginner … !?!

When It Comes To What Is NORMAL In Company That's … " Cordial " …

And What About The Miss Who Makes You Think of THINGS …
That Some Define As SINS When The REALITY Is THIS … !!!

What Once Was YES ABNORMAL Has Now Become So Normal ...
That Girls Be Giving ORALS ... On PORNO Types of PORTALS ... !!!

The Type Now Seen On Sites ... NORMALLY At Night …

Normality Defined Now Seems To Be … " ONLINE " … ?!?

Online Fights And Forums With Designs …
That Formulate Insights Within So Many Minds … !!!

Minds Like MINE Who Are Primed To Find …

Discussions That INSPIRE My Pen To Write And FIRE ...
Verse That Serves To Explore The Works ...
That Rest Inside My …. " UNIQUE MIND " …. !!!!!!

See I'd Rather Be UNIQUE Than FIT ….. " NORMALITY " ….. !!!!!!
Cos' Normal To Me Is Simply Being … " ME " …

NOT Fitting Into Cliques Or Trying To …. "Deceive" ….

So That I Can Hang In These … "CLONE FILLED GANGS" ... !!!!!

Being ABNORMAL ... Doesn't Make You COOL … !!!!!

So DON'T Be Fooled ... Try Being YOU ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT Fitting Into Crews Who Seem A Bit … " Confused " … ?!?
In Trying To DEFINE Like Some Kind of …. IMMORTAL ...
What It Is IN TRUTH To Definitively Be …

One Who's Seen … As Being …

…… " NORMAL " ……
