I’ve grown tired of modern society
Of religious bigotry; holier than thou attitudes.
I’m sick of ‘political correctness,’ ‘he said she said’ court cases.
I hate the lack of intelligence that permeates everyday life.
I’m tired of normalcy, of the bonds that culture has placed upon the individual.
These social norms and trends are an attempt to keep ‘order’ and to promote normality, but they are our downfall.
To deviate from a social trend is to be frowned upon. To be a despised character, an antagonist.
We are stuck. Bound by the cultural status of being ‘normal.’
The sun rises and sets; yet nothing happens. Constrained by the masses, plurality is promoted, yet when one strays from the majority, they are cast out as idiots, as insane, as a danger to society.
It is time for us to stand up. To make a difference. To no longer allow the rules of society to control our lives, our choices. It is time for us to no longer care about what other people think. It is time to be ourselves. Do not hide from the outside world. Escape from the prison cell that you have been held in. Spread your wings and fly, be free. Set out to make a difference.
For too long have we sat on the sideline watching as the world continued on without us. It is time to stand up. To make noise. It is time to break free
To Be Continued...
