Ordinary People Poem by Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken
Ordinary People
I can't not say
and yet do I know
that somewhere, somehow
in between all doubt
Justice will preveal and justify
the way we act
For whatever we do, is fed
by more than just action
but more so by the things we believe in
with awareness and respect to guide us
I can't really say
and yet do I know
that we are who we are
humans with right and wrongs
with feelings of love and hate,
with two legs to stand on
and two hands to work with
I can't really say
and yet do I know
that on the end of every day
we are happy with the ordinary life we live
For ordinary people have ordinary wishes and demands
because their wishes and demands are so small
that they are easy to achieve and fulfill
PART 2: that they are easy to achieve and fulfill. I have cited these three lines of the last stanza. It be so, but the small wishes and demands are not oft as easy to achieve as we may think. Small wishes and small demands are on special occasions hard to fulfill, I reckon.
PART 3: People consist of individuals and each individual is unique, so the answers are not as easy as we may think. I dare say this, since I regard the self as an ordinary person. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking poem.
