Notes About The Poem

Deviants and Divine Poetry Contest sponsored by Silent One

Deviate from the Norm

Deviant by choice
what a way to rejoice
Diverge from modern course 
seek divine joyful source

Eliminate controlling tradition 
support non violent sedition
Exists a man made sneaky scheme
deviate seek a divine loving theme


Not impressed with entrenched western culture
seek another caring structure
Discover life sublime
existence beyond a modern paradigm

Surround oneself with nature
build a loving stature
Digress from what's considered normal
let's not be conformal
Today's normal is really so abnormal
