Intention
It's not my intention
To lie in convention
I'm going to stand up
And be me
It's not my intention
To lie in convention
I'm going to stand up
And be free
(Don Matthews July 2017 Poet in Training)
“The 'normal' person is what is left after society has
squeezed all unconventional opinions and
aspirations out of a human being”
(Mokokoma Mokhonoana)
Well done Don. I tried to express a similar idea in Deconstruction.

This is great - that quote at the end really hits the nail on the head. I had a psychologist once tell me that or society is truly structured to create functional working adults that follow the system and do not try to deviate or make waves, and that very few of us are brave enough to break from this.
