Weird is good

Individuality rocks.....discuss.

Weird is good, let's see what you've got
Draw your own sketches, this ain't dot-to-dot
Mainstream conformity is so over-rated
Safety in numbers, but quintessence abated

Surely much better to show you're unique?
Shove fitting in, bring on the geek!
Joining the masses so easily done
Lose the big picture, miss most of the fun

So many people behaving the same
Slavishly follow the rules of the game
C'mon people, you're better than this
Your so-called leaders just take the piss

The best human spirits strike out of their own
Eschewing materialism, new cars, home loan
Set their own styles, own words, own deeds
Vibrant and vital, in touch with REAL needs

And so, noble readers, which crew are you?
Anonymous acolytes, or exceptional few?
All full-on individuals, I wish you good luck
And as for the others, who gives a f**k?

I love this. It speaks the truth about haw great people are made as well as highlighting the fact that society are all just plastic copies of each other. Great work.

You did write this! Amazing! The most difficult thing to be in this world to be yourself what you are created to be. Love you for being yourself and encouraging others to do the same.
