it is not the who
but the what
that is norm
(...compete...compete...)
for millions of people
culture and language
norms are averages
behavior intelligence
good bad or ugly
each to their own
good points bad points
sick and healthy
(...compete...compete...)
but somehow we make it through life
thinking averaging puts us in control
while living a waking dream until mistakes happen
then the averages on top target averages on bottom
select a population norm
foreign poor sick or other
have more police and executions
to control average states of mental health
apparently they are the new problem
(...compete...compete...)
while the stores remain full of weaponary for other averages
to foster their hero powers and declare supremacy
nuclear arms races invasions road rages robberies and murders
weapons manufacturing remains that profit stick from which hung the apple
of adam's dream for power and freedom so he took one bite
and started dividing up the lands and the people became a currency
for investment on a wall street such that the average on top
make their bets and populations struggle
to put profits in wall street pockets
(...compete...compete...)
