Whats Normal

There are people in this world who think they live a normal life; Yet they pass over the less fortunate, amidst their struggles and much strife. But just think of those who cannot see, would they ever rob you blind; And those who cannot talk at all, would they ever speak unkind. There are those who cannot hear all the nasty things we say; And some are slowly dying, but they treasure every day. Some are born with half a mind, they are so meek and mild; And some are born with no hands or feet and would never strike a child. Then there's those of us who think we lead such a normal life; And still shy from those less fortunate, but we suffer more internal strife. We thank God we aren't freaks like them and go about our merry way; Perhaps we shall see what's normal, when judgment comes our way.
