I shrink at the thought ~
Must we hover in dull stifling mediocrity?
We were meant to soar!

We won't ever be anybody's red
caped tin horned hero.
We seem local and suburban.
All pleased.
Published in Poetry Almanac - Summer 1974
Her star shines bright
Above the rest
She is my child
She is my best, of
All that I could give
Her blood and being
She has shared
With a world fleeing
Mediocrity.
Beautifully,
Divinely,
We fly like a dove
Mediocrity,
Idiocy,
We rise above
Jealousy,
Envy,
We happily shove
Unassailable,
Impenetrable,
This love
Ever since the world began
there were those who 'also ran.'
Not for them the highest grades,
not for them great accolades.
Mediocrity rarely shatter.
That they ran is what most matters.
Competition ...
what keeps us alive
Sharpening our edges
fueling our drive
Setting new benchmarks
pushing the bar
Forever defining
— just who we are
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Every day we all walk a very fine line
Tween happy and sad, tween mediocrity and sublime
Today's a sublime one
It's a bright shiny sun
Looking down on us mortals, this grand design
Always be willing
To exercise your mind
Do not settle for mediocrity
Be the one who enshrines
You have the ability
Go forward and conquer
Believe that you can do it
Be the one who prospers
Wow ...
Please forgive me ...
Another exquisite creation
A piece of my soul laid bone-bare
Lost to the abyss of perspective
A sea of glaring cliche'
And mediocrity
Just. Wow.
Here it is, here's what it's all about
The joys, the sorrows, the expectations, the doubts
Life in a nutshell
In mediocrity, we dwell
Unless you're Bill Gates, then in true freedom we're doused
Thursday morning, moon said goodbye
Painting words on hill up high
With some puppets on the watch
Like putting me down is their catch
I don't know how much bigotry
Is poured in minds of mediocrity
She
frozen
suspended
drowning in fear
an ocean of self
doubt__Who am I kidding??
Myself__loathing artistic
Vagueness and mediocrity
Mass produced inferior talent
Survey says! Forgetable dime store goods...
Let them think you're not worth it.
Let them think you're not enough.
But know this:
Mediocrity isn't for me.
I dream,
I try,
I speak,
I fly.
My spirit will not run dry
For I am blessed to reach the sky.
Write a poem
show poetic flare!
But not too deep
not too bright
surface is easier
to share – you can
take a reader to water...
but, Lord!~ you can make
one drink – too complicated
will just make a lazy
eye blink….
Would you but sing to me,
A song of high ambition.
My mind being elevated,
I climbed aboard a vision.
Flying high above mediocrity,
There's been no indecision.
A purpose driven life,
Will always be my mission.
It's incumbent upon us to keep up with technology
Fantastic new discoveries that once seemed mythology
The benefits are stupendous
We've become so dependent
It's unstoppable, we mustn't revert to mediocrity
Strife
Angst against hypocrisy
Life
Full of mediocrity
Hate
Born of things misunderstood
Love
Passion bred from all that's good
In your existence
These things you'll find
In your ignorance
You'll blind your mind
Form:
Time,
Always
Moves ahead.
Who will be left?
Waiting now behind,
For a sign from above,
As if blind to the present.
Look no further than your own mind!
Do you not perceive your surroundings?
Mediocrity the doom of us all.
You can do better
Do not settle for mediocrity
Get that fire
In order to build your world successfully
See the big picture
Have the ability to think large
Be the inspiration
Have wisdom and knowledge to take charge
Teetering…
on that prolific edge of mediocrity
Groping…
like some street-ravaged whore in the darkness
Clinging…
to that abstract formality of “us”
Drowning…
as you lie, complacent, in your nothingness
Let’s all just be average,
no rich and no poor
Excuses our quotient,
single digits the score
Masquerading as fairness,
our heritage veiled
In lock step we march,
voices mute—nothing hailed
(The New Room: February, 2021)
Life's Lesson
. mediocrity rewarded
breeds
discontent
8/31/2015 Michael Tor
Vibrant and in tune with,
All of the great things that she does,
Never satisfied with mediocrity, an
Essential key to belonging to any,
Society. She will indeed be
Sucessful. I wish you
All of the best in the future as a vibrant princess.
Have that voice
To motivate and inspire
Encourage the students to do better
Show them that fire
They need to concentrate more
And never settle for mediocrity
Just open your books and study harder
Raising their grades should be their priority
MORE MEDIOCRITY
Targets can be quantitative
But then, enough may be enough
Despite one being creative
Targets can be quantitative
What happened to qualitative
There’s plenty of adequate stuff
Targets can be quantitative
But then, enough may be enough
