Common Man

Fellow Nobodys, my brother with common face. I am also a Mr. Nobody with a super common face and here we are, In a world that moves almost as smoothly as the slick images it tries to emulate, or is it the other way round (I forgot which one imitates which)? Anyhow, look in any direction in this neo-world and what are you slapped with day in day out?

Beautiful people, the beautiful people, you know the ones I'm talking about. The shakers and movers, the hip, trend setting, A1, top man, alpha male, "most likely to succeed", fast track to success beautiful people, bloody it’s like they have all their doors open for them. Its not enough that they were born with the chiseled looks of Zeus’s first born…No sir, they have to go and take the best table at the restaurant, pick from the best cloth line, have a group of beauties as Girlfriend, they are not seen standing in a queue, outside the door of rejection or in a fish market of life.

If we're lucky, we might just get the foraging scraps left under the table. It feels like you are sinking at a sand pit you were never willingly invited to and there is nothing you can do about it. I say absolutely but look at the brighter side, we don’t jump to their orders, we don’t sit up and bark for them, waiting to chase the tossed stick, hoping for some kind of tag along at the back hoping for acknowledgement do we?

We don’t as a single entity we might each of us as a single entity might but as a group we DON’T

I am talking about that group, for long we noticed only that single one shinning star of a guy whom the limelight always followed but now I ask you to look harder and you will find countless non shining beings around him just like us.

WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

All those childhood dreams of romance that were crushed, as she walked away with the Casanova, barely looking back at your crumbling composure, unable to remember your name "you seem really NICE"… and good riddance. None of that really mattered. You wouldn't have been happy with her. Not really, she would have driven you mad in under a week, her mere cribbing that she got you when she deserved better… much better is enough… your superior intellect would have screamed silently from the highest hill top.

All those times you hoped your Boss had a little plan for you, gonna help you up the ladder, only to be dumped with promise to wait another year before u get the big one garnished with mundane duties and served with a beaming smile, watching like a old rabid street dog as he called upon the company Rock Star into his office for a chat. None of that matters, let him have the promotion, let him have the ball till he is fed up with it, throw all the responsibility, added stress, the longer hours. Just keep your head down, do your work nothing more nothing less, smile and get your paycheck.

It’s time to turn it around. We are the majority…the homely…the average…the Nobody…THE COMMON MAN. It’s us and not them who will inherit this world and bring the machines and progress to a standstill if we stop. We make the differences felt we make the stars shine so bright we make the life of those look extraordinary. If we seize to exist everything will be mediocre and mundane. There would be no heights to achieve… no balance in the machinery God of earth will cease to exist. We fuel the temptation to achieve and over achieve everything will come to a standstill.

We are the dominant force in this great civilization… Lets raise a toast to that alone!!!
