The Exceptions

When we were looking down, they were looking up

When we turned left, they went right

When we stopped, they moved

When we ran, they walked

When we biked, they swam

When we took the train, they rode the bus

When we talked, they thought

When we thought, they were doing

We are the majority.

They are the exceptions.

These exceptions are those that do not heed “normal” advice.

They don’t break the rules.

They just don’t see any.

They do what others believe they can’t.

They swam towards the current

Ran towards the fire

Marched towards the field of battle

And it is because of this, that we (the majority) admire them.

Because they change things.

Not just for themselves.

But for everyone.
