Normal

NORMAL
The frigid cold of winter
Is Toms' version of perfection.
The sweltering of summer
Leans closer in Jill's direction...

Which is NORMAL?
What is NORMAL?

An aggressive singing style
Is Adams' vision of true music.
The performance of a child
Is seen as soothing and so unique...

Which is NORMAL?
What is NORMAL?

A voracious faith in god
Is the righteous way Vicky lives life.
While an atheistic fog
Is clearly just part of life for Mike...

Which is NORMAL?
What is NORMAL?

The pinnacle of sunrise
Is unbeaten in Tim's opinion.
While the refuge of midnight
Is Tanya's bolstering dominion...

Which is NORMAL?
What is NORMAL?

Well the masses declare the majority as being normal
But the majority includes child molesters, rapists and thieves,
I am glad to be abnormal, when so many are horrible.
This poem answers nothing, for normal's whatever you believe.

Not normal

I like the concept, but dissagree with the final conclusion. Well written peice.

The "norm" is whatever society agrees to or does as a whole. It is lots of individuals all doing much the same things - making them common enough to be called "normal" in so doing. That does not make the "norm" a good thing, as you well point out, and the norm changes with each new generation and culture of the moment.

Again, well written.
