Never be ordinary, thats what they say
But how can you be extraordinary with all this noise in the way.
Do something you desire, that will true inspire
For discrimination of race and gender to retire.
To think, speak, hear, read and write with all common sense
Isn't too hard or too dense
But to have a pure heart with love so immense
You just need a meaningful spark of fire at the end.
Don't be on your gadgets full of baloney
Instead go look out for someone lonely
Share an exotic chat or a coffee or two
Or maybe just read a book you'll both love such as 'Doctor Who'.
Read to be intense, to fulfil suspense
Read to be free or just to be in a world so joyful and glee.
Read so it'll take you places
Far or near, you'll have no fear.
