Speaking Truth to Your Status Quo

Atticus Rowe

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
-Atticus, To Kill a Mockingbird

What affect has the 'majority' had on your life?

Majority opioion
Majority values
Majority swarming with the wind
like a flock of bees
with rules, standards, and guidelines
that are to a large degree arbitrary
and most of the time
just don't make any sense?


Are you caving into the "reality" that is your life,
explaining to people why they should understand your woes
feel sorry for you
the victim
like so many celebrities
and reality tv show stars
whom we love to hate
and judge
and mock

because they are ruled by fear

just like us?

It's easier to judge others than it is to fix ourselves
Farrah
Michael
The people with 8 kids
Who have affairs
And can't work through it
Just like us

It's sociopathic.

What boundaries
have you let others create for you?
Rules they make
To make life 'easier for everyone'
Like a flock of bees
Bringing honey to the queen?

Are you brave enough to speak truth to this
power?
(Is that what we call majority opinion?)

Are you strong enough
to step outside
this majority rule?

Can you go against the grain?

Could you?

If the time came?

If you were called

To build an ark

Or plow down your field of corn
and go in search of Terrance Mann?

Could you withstand the jeers
from the crowd?

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Are you strong enough
to change your status quo?
