We exist

In the world of

Normalcy



I say exist

For normal is not

Really alive



We strive for

The mere ordinary



And many fall short



Beg, steal, borrow

Why not earn?

That road is barred

By others who

Take the quicker way



Lack of morals?

Or lack of meaning?

Doesn't much matter



There is no greatness left in the world



Adventures are over

Everywhere has been explored

And now you can too,

For a price

We will get

To space

And make a business

Out of it, too



Heroism just a word

No great wars to fight

We're scared to do it

Properly



Great romance called dead

Even by romantics

Who claim that it is not

But know better



Those on top

Cheat

Those not

Can do nothing



Normalcy, to complacency

There will be no revolution

And it wouldn't be televised

Just maybe the bloodshed

For ratings purposes



Our zenith now past

The heart is no longer a mediator



Petty schemes

End hopeful dreams



And who knows how long

Until we ruminate

On our own ruination.
