Lets Celebrate Mediocrity

Lets Celebrate Mediocrity

A Poem by Olmsted A. T.

Lets Celebrate Mediocrity

 

Lets celebrate mediocrity

endorse barely getting by

all hail the king complacency

f**k giving it a try

 

Too tired or old to go for the gusto

don't care to give it our all

we've shaken hands with not shooting for the stars 

seventh place don't bother us at all

 

There's no point in making effort

so we'll practice the art of slack

make a mantra of shoulda coulda woulda beens 

and turn apathy into religious zest

 

Preach the gospel of assimilation

no one has time for the individual

free thinking has been outlawed

and the rebels quickly marked for death
