Diver'gent


Seeing it as it isn’t is not

Conducive to being part

Of a standard orthodoxy.


Conservative minds tread

On the pedestrian prosaic

Of the commonplace.


Main stream turns their

Wheel at run of the mill,

Where old is fashioned.


Predictable is formulated,

Established is accepted,

Tradition is compulsory.

Not a place for the radical,

Unconventional, bohemian,

Originality, is their antonym.
