Upside Down

Everything is upside down.
 There are people melting at the sight of a snowflake.
 Complainers retching against their complaint-ridden hands.
 Screeching out against the white noise of those who screech.
 They join those they did not wish to join with clouded eyes.

Everything is upside down.
 Those who think they have an audience blow air into the wind.
 Those who wish to stands out blend into the monochrome.
 Those who speak the words they do not seem to understand.
 They join those they did not wish to join with deafened ears.

Everything is upside down.
 We need more listening than shouting.
  More cooperation than "winning."
  More compassion than standing out.

Everything is upside down.
 It is time to speak for the masses, not just the mermaids.
  Time to help out the shunned, not just the lime-lighters.
  Time to see who truly need help, not just the attention seekers.

Everything is upside down.

 Can we be the ones to flip it?
