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
