The pathway to happiness is plane to see
Follow the dictations of friends peers and family

Destroy that which has been weak
Destroy that thing which made me meek

I shall follow her advice which said we do not compute
Follow the orders of society that shall not pollute

Become what the world says to do
This surely must be happiness
to make one say, "I do"

I shall take the medications perscribed by man
Happy pills make one NORMAL that is the plan

When this "man" begins to cry take drugs by the score
Numb that which is weak and then ask doctors for more

Should this human heart fail it will be none to soon
Better to replace my abnormality with plastic or baboon

Should that one fail, I may need one that is very big
A more suiting one for man lies in the heart of a pig

Become a workaholic, buy a bride, for money is the answer
Be rich, get aids, for it is more sympathetic than cancer

Face lift, liposuction, become fit and thin
Haircut, GQ, dress, become the latest trend

Have 2.5 kids, I should freeze sperm just in case
Perhaps they will clone me, the first baby in space

Pick a religion, to woo the wife that I want
One that is rich and "chosen" thats a good start

Convert to a minority become politically correct
Happy equals normal, my peers tell me don't forget

Write the perfect poems, paint and compose great art
Replace love with perfect stylings, spelling and no heart

Try a prose, I suppose,
Aliteration and sublimation
Tick Tock
Get up
Stop

Don't always rhyme
Follow their advice
Happy will compute
(End of Line)

wouldn't be fun following the crowd...much more adventurous and satisfying following my own path...been there, did that, it wasn't nice.  

Great images Good One!
