A World of Mad Hatters

Expectations of others still holding me at gunpoint.

Everyone and their mothers, I know I'll disapoint.

Not everyone can win if this internal battle continues.

But everyone could win if we stop the abuse.

 

The abuse of others, the society around,

Could become productive if we listened through the sound.

Listened to the people but not the words they say,

Because everyone communicates in their personal way.

 

If we listened to ourselves and followed what we feel,

Maybe everyone in this world could go home to a meal.

Maybe someday we will love and the fighting will cease,

and maybe someday we will be people of peace.

 

For now Im alone and considered slightly mad,

For straying from the norm apparently Ive gone bad.

Someday we will all stray from the norm.

We will all become "mad" rather than conform.

 

When that day comes the norm is gone for good.

People will be free and I will be understood.

With just a free spirit you can help to release,

A whole new world for the people of peace.
