Presence of the Abnormal

Presence of the Abnormal Is a sign to save your life Presence of the normal Keeps you out of trouble and strife It’s a sign to your inner soul That protects you from being hurt You just have but one goal Keep your head out of the dirt This happens in every life It’s something that can be beat Believe in your senses and strive Then you can walk along the street Hold your head up high If it doesn’t feel right It’s not time to fly It is the time to stand and fight For you can get out of this place Your senses have got you this far Laugh in adversities silly face You really don’t need to go in that bar As a child you had no fear This is a way of life As an adult these instincts disappear You have troubles and plenty of strife So, trust your mind and stay strong The bad thoughts will diminish On this world is where you belong Your life is not ready to finish

Gordon, I like this fight or flight's poetic end. Adulthood is over-rated by youth. -Richard
