Respect Gained
Going against the norms
Standing for the odds
Attracts its query
Whiles a baby's cry matures into speech
Odds are norms, for all reason to it
Although was not emphatic, now a fact
Brave hearts may shatter
Strong hands may wrinkle
Minds of steel might melt
Visionary souls might fade-out
That is the quest of standing for the odd
The very one to enforce breaks the norms
On this path much is lost
Respect is gained
