Array ( [sid] => 54465 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Variety [time] => 2004-07-01 23:35:54 [hometext] => I write a lot of lyrics for a friend of mine's band and this is one set of lyrics that they thought I should post. For anyone who has ever felt exiled for being induvidual. [bodytext] => My heart is a cold stone beating in my painted chest
The blank are angry because I am vibrant
They suffer and give us no rest
Why hate the differences none can help?
The cold eyes chill more than my skin
The blizzard is taking away myself
Why must judgment be so cruel?
The soulless pray on those who live
Why are the blind so strong?

I laugh at you who are all the same
Do you think me as one of you?
Monotony is the highest sin,
To turn from what is true.

The pitiless are pitied for their ill.
Their hearts are rotten to the core
There will be no rest for haters
They know no love anymore.

Justice is a wistful fantasy
The evil and the food suffer alike.
The good wonder “why me”
The hateful lash out and strike.

One day safety will come.
The one who loves all despite variety.
This one will bring peace to all
She does not want all to be the same. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 543 [topic] => 34 [informant] => MLCstar [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Never hear a melody when i read lyrics...but that's just me.

Felt this was an interesting subject for a poem...conformity. Using a form of expression designed for the non-conformist...even demanding it.

I know this is about something very personal for you but, as an exercise, you might consider trying to write this from one particular vantage at a time...victim, perpetrator, innocent and not-so-innocent bystander...that kind of thing. One voice at a time. Could be interesting.

Keep up the work...bob

The name says it all!!!...well done..
Monotony is the highest sin,
To turn from what is true.
Loved that line...

Those are some good lyrics. I'd like to hear the music that goes with them. I personally believe that individuallity, is alot harder to achieve than most people think. A constant struggle that I think I will be living my whole life trying to understand totally
