MEDIOCRITY
Do we live in a world of mundane mediocrity?
Content with the middle of the road philosophy.
Treading along at one aimless uninteresting pace.
Not caring or wanting to win any important race.

Wishy-washy, shoulder shrugging, slothful way of life,
Could this way of life cause all much trouble and strife?
I don’t care, or it doesn’t bother me, so why fear,
Is wrong, think of your influence on other folks near.

Middling in emotions, a quality found in so many,
Then procrastination springs forth, the enemy
Of righteous endeavors and so crush progression
In yourselves and others, thus fall under condemnation.

Neither good or bad the dictionary states quite clear,
Is mediocrity, so is second rate, this we should fear,
Please give me strength to stand firm and strong
And steer away from mediocrity which is so wrong.
