Ordinary Man

Snow is falling and floods are flowing, people dying and children keep crying, but he's just an ordinary man, sitting there watching TV. Icebergs melting and penguins starving, men in suits talking and big guns firing, but he's just an ordinary man playing on his smartphone. Storms blowing and seas are raging, children starving and refugees leaving, but he's just an ordinary man at home warm and free. He seems confused, Daffodils no longer bloom in Spring, bumble bees have stopped buzzing, butterflies have stopped floating, confused birds have stopped flying and factories have plumes of smoke burning, but he's just an ordinary man sitting in his garden all alone. So who is he to fight? He just follows the rules he is told. Instead of trying to be something he is not. Because he is just an ordinary man. The Silent One Simple musing 11 January 2018
