mediocrity

i've spent my life observing and then pondering this place

and never has confusion ever ceased

i've also heard a lot of exhalation of our kind

and sanctimonious reverence for peace

the stories from our childhood condition us to think

that beauty is a basic human trait

but how do they reconcile with daily realities

like poverty and dominance and rape?

but you have to be

stone cold dead not to see

overwhelming incongruity

as we search for suggestion to remedy

mediocrity

if you just sit back and record what you see

the tragic and exquisite are the same to some degree

but most events depict a common theme

there's far more disorder then there is harmony

i say you've got to be

stone cold dead not to see

overwhelming incongruity

it is pointless to search for teleology

mediocrity
