I Meet Every Day

Ordinary people i meet every day Just like me quite ordinary in many a way But most of them do not see themselves as ordinary In that respect so very different to me Ordinary people never instigate change Any new ways of thinking to them rather strange Their old ways and old thinking they feel proud to retain Things as they are they just wish to remain Many ordinary people does glorify war And celebrate those who die in conflicts from their homeland afar Yet they angrily condemn crimes ofviolence and hate And the terrorists that every war does create Most of our political leaders seem ordinary indeed And of more of their sort the World is not in need As they are they only wish thingsto stay And they never disagree on a huge rise in their pay The wealthy and influential celebrities the ordinary admire And of singing their praises never seem to tire And on so doing they promote the social divide That in their own ways the ordinary can be influential cannot be denied Ordinary people i meet every day Just like me so ordinary in many a way But even the ordinary on all things do not agree This is how people are and how they always will be
