Common

                                                  Quote by Voltaire 

                                        To be common is to be normal,
                              It’s to have the sense to keep your mouth shut
                                                And your smile wide.
                                              To smile is not to smile
                                  For your showing your pearly white teeth
                                  Your actual soul is nowhere to be found,
                                Is it so abnormal to have a sharp tongue?
                                             To smile with actual joy?
                                  That’s the thing about being common,
                                                  It’s no fun at all
