Can You Tell Me... What Is...?

An older poem...

Normal...
What does this mean?
Does it lie within a gene?

Ordinary...
Who defines this word?
Does it explain the entire herd?

Average...
Where would the answer lie?
Does it come about with the cast of a die?

You...
Who might you be?
Do you define yourself according to me?

Me...
What am I?
Do I live my life based on your lie?

Humanity...
Where can our norm be found?
Do we know if it’s one or many that tread this ground?

Good question which has many answers. No such thing as an avaerage man/woman We are all unique and we all have talents and deficiencies.To do the best with what we have is the only way forward.Some people are perfectly healthy yet handicappee by lack of confidencein themselves and some physically handicapped people overcome their handicaps through sheer determination. Normal tends to be what your particular society agrees on in general the lowest possible denominator. ivor

Ahhhh.... age old questions. There is no one definition for any of these things as we all see each other differently, and we see ourselves differently than others view us. Its perplexing, but and interesting topic. Very nice write!
