I pay
homage to the average; to the majority of mankind. There are those that are not rich enough to be idolized; not poor enough to beg. How about not pretty enough to grace magazines; not so ugly as to be stared at. No courageous stories to tell and no disasters to justify a plea for aid. I do not wish to take away from the justifiable fame of those remarkable achievers. I do not intend to make worthy charity cases seem as a burden. No… this is just for those that do not make the papers or have any merit to be in it. I give a “shout-out” to those who manage to live their lives in an uncomplicated way. I envy the ability to live life with enough responsibility not to get in trouble. Then; live with just too little effort to make it go really-really well. How is what we have now, enough; yet, for many it appears to be? I do not know how to join your group; yet, I envy the qualities you have. I am chased by an urge to be acknowledged; to be seen and heard. I know I am different and can’t see how I could ever be labeled as plain. How do you live in automation; so much so that irregularities are not addressed? Is it really possible to have no urge to speak up against insanity or absurdity? How does one remain out of the lime-light or have no mass impact of your actions? I can’t compute the factors that results in so little effect. Just how do you do it, for I always affect those I haven’t even considered? No… my life is void of such simplicity. I do suppose that we all have average qualities in our lives; I am neither rich nor poor. I can foresee that some might have more average qualities than others. These average qualities are surely adaptable, but how is it enough? How does one remain content with being unnoticeable; living with so little affect? No… my friend; though I envy your low-key existence, I can not share it. I would feel dead; I would feel faded, gray, bland and without purpose. None-the-less; you are an awesome creation and I see you. You exist and your kind is in the majority; yet, I wish you had a significant voice. |
