Normality
Normality
The science saved the day, again
No Frankenstein theatrics
Or headless brain
The villagers chase, not to fork or to prod
No burning torch, crucifix
Or running prayers to God
And while we applaud with no sense of reserve
The white coated wonders
And those who deserve
Part of me Hopes, as the lightning strikes
That our eyes flicker open
When reality bites
We learn not to tinker with life's natural rhythm
As peace is restored
We re-love what is given
But thank you for now
The brave women and men;
For the God-given gifts in you
Save us again
For the clowns at the table;
Please don't lead us astray
For the price could be shocking
In it's own kind of way.
