Normal

Death, war, hunger:
normal.

You don't like it.
You feel badly about it:
normal.

No one's gonna apologize
to you for it:
normal.

You think it's really crazy
and super f*cked up?:
normal.

There are some strange mofos out there,
talking to themselves
on street corners
screaming to Zeus
and old, dead gods,
their frustrations,
searching for their minds:
normal.

Crime on the streets.
Crime in politics.
Injustice against which you
dream up a better world
you struggle to get yourself
to actualize in your day to day,

innocent people dying,
guilty people fleeing,
and no one knows who is who
anymore and no one
really cares, either:

normal.

You think you're crazy:
normal.

You're hopeless today
hopeful the next:

normal.

You say,
"There is no normal.
Normal is a myth.":

Normal.

Carry on.
