Following | Sylvia Thompson

Stop.
I’m not part of this.
I’ll be leaving now.
I don’t understand
How none of you
See what’s going on.
A herd following
Whoever they think
They should be,
Experts non experts.
Stop, now.
It doesn’t have to be this way
There are so many
Other beautiful
Things to be done
Instead of being
Ordinary and
Following.

So Ordinary | Jasper

So ordinary.
All of them the same.
Living in lifeless boxes,
Doing the same things
In unison, laughing at
The same awful things,
Talking about nothing,
Hating the same people,
Afraid of everything,
Driving the same loud
Metal machines,
Not an original thought
In the bunch, a terrible
Gathering of mediocrity
Fancying itself great.
