Curse of Difference


Let me not be an individual

And set myself aside from others

I’m a deviant, an outlier

I don’t expect fans and admirers

Diction, syntax, and autocorrect

The only parables I’ll come to respect

With a speck of death…It’s on the cerebral

Simple minds must read twice, they’re remedial

Miscomprehending the facts by the meaty full

To a lesser source of knowledge under media control

History’s greatest mysteries on display to be examined

The answers and truths hath been taken for granted

But it seems linguistics have taken a dive

Immortal souls still struggle to reveal the lies

Behind contextual walls dating back to ancient times

Why can’t every year be a time to be alive?

No one asks questions just question the asker

Emphasis on riches and what the cash is for

No one knows how to spend it, it’s no surprise

Everyone get a chance to practice with time
