victims of the norm

the norm, is what you keep seeing and doing.
it slowly becomes a norm,
no matter how wrong or abnormal or ridiculous it was before.

and we have become victims of these 'norms'.
we often forget, that what's norm,
does not mean it's right, doesn't mean it's good either.

they say it's cool
we say it's cool
we're playing simon says.
we don't think.

And we so easily get shaped,
into what syaitan (which comprises of men and jin) tells us is the norm.
We have no self control or the ability
to stop and think and defend ourselves,
our souls.

practical examples.
i think i don't need to dwell into pre marital sex,
gays & lesbians,
jeans that show your you-think-it's-nice-but-it's-err-ahem butt & panties.

it includes
employers taking advantage of employees, emphasizing on discipline at work and disregarding their discipline towards their own family
big TV companies, getting people to sign off every right the people have, if they want to appear for 1 stupid minute on their channel.
companies practically shoving totally unnecessary products that they manufacture, into consumer's faces
deceit as a part of the marketing ploy - it's what they call 'standard marketing tactics'

when do we wake up
and even realise the reason for living
we have got to save our selves and our souls.
and stop being victims of the so-called 'norms'
