Mediocrity
Standards, who has defined it?
Who will?
When origin is in disagreement
Defining us, our lives as if the right is given.
Is a scale that important?
Boycotting background, culture, personality
It is growing day by day.
The speciality?
It has only the start and end.
The high and the low.
Background, culture and personality are
Not the only victims.
The real victim becomes what's between
The two edges.
Mediocre.
It has got no place.
The scale made by those
Who are described as
"World's most dangerous animals"
In the zoo at Lusaka, Zambia
Makes us similar to excited electrons
Changing energy levels .
Skipping steps with heartbeats.
This is how it comes to an end
Is this how it will come to an end?
