Nomad

I don't know...
Is it good?
Is it bad?
Having the heart of a nomad
Having no loyalty nor faith
Having no need for stability
Having a love for gypsy mentality
Maybe it's just genetic
Dating back to the fearless Norsemen pillaging the pathetic
Flash forward to a modern salesman exploiting the weak
And intermittent sexual hunger rising to peak
Years later they are forced into blending
Survival within the masses forcing this bending
Media saturation encouraging needless spending
Oh no
Beginning to look like all of the usual
But
True ancestors are still sensual
Apposed to the populus of sentimental
I still feel their blood
It isn't bad
It isn't good
It just is
and so am I

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Traditional family holidays make me feel isolated, except for my connection with my father. He too has a Norseman Nomad heart, but I refuse to end up like him; surrendering to society's expectations. I have realistic, but great expectations of exploration and independence. Patience and planning is my key at this pre-flight time of my life.
