Uniquely Ironically Unique

Taken with a pinch of salt Invisible to the naked eye Should you wish to be unique Bare your soul be exposed stripped of flesh down to the naked bone Stand alone and out from the robotic crowd marching in synchronicity Depth and truth is what you seek Then be prepared as more often than not It's stark and bleak and afterwards can not nor never again be taken back thereafter So too likewise are the consequences of being woken up in a state of panic Wondering where the world you once new has gone or ever was What in fact now the future holds in store As friend's are few now that you have crossed over the great river of divide And sadly the grass is not as green as it appeared at very 1st glance Unique in simple terms is having the ability or being able to look at something from your own perspective From the outside in and seeing it for what it actually is And not what other's want you or need you to believe it is So best at least you be forwarded of the danger and the pitfalls Uniquely ostracized , criticized , persecuted , lambasted labeled deemed abject And when all is said and done all that you have and are sadly left with afterwards is you yourself what you know Being sneered at by a waiting seating you then condescendingly saying Your usual table Sir party for 1 dinning alone again I see You know the type of passing comment that a human droid would say thinking it to be found a witty retort As apposed to a sarcastic person who is able to think outside the box and instantaneously reply Yes i am ever sorry but I took your wife out yesterday and your mum was busy today A perfect example of what distinguishes the truly unique from most other's

As i mentioned in my last comment Each one of us is unique with different perspectives, true there are only 2 or 3 political parties to choose from normally, (not the dictator run countries, they live in fear of their lives) and although millions vote for the same party, their uniqueness about choosing the politician they want is their own unique thoughts. Great write my friend Christopher. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

Cheers Mev See you are about to go to the poles yourself and vote the A.N.C back in again. Like you said some only have 1 party that will ever get in despite their record in government or what they do. Nothing seems to matter no matter how bad self-serving or downright corrupt sadly . And worst of all is it's the people who voted them in who suffer most

There is a thin line here Christopher, I admire anyone thinking outside the box, we are all biologically made of the same stuff, yet on a psychological level we are totally unique, civilisation has rules and laws for human behaviour, we must stay unique within these guidelines, and still appear to march with the crowd, otherwise there's a danger of becoming ostracised, criticised or indeed persecuted, I enjoyed reading this one, that's the beauty of your poetry, you push boundaries, cheers David
