The Only Thing Normal...Is The Setting On The Dryer Poem by Richard Wlodarski

In Parkdale...abnormal is...normal
Whose to say what's normal or abnormal
A bat flying into an elevator
Full of lost and lonely souls

A blind man selling lead pencils
Dinosaurs in a too modernized world
Some pathetic drunk drunk on sorrow
Killing for a damn lost tomorrow

Whose to say what's normal
The bishop's queen or drag queen
Baptized children raped by saintly priests
Suicide bombers killing in the name of sex

Worldly leaders impoverished by greed
Batman succumbing to the evil Joker
God's only child the one and only Jesus Christ
Succumbing to the trickery of the Dark Prince
