'Conformity'

By Frank

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Cruelest pleasures of modern society To ostracize those with different opinions Negativity towards modern conformity? Of course , its the path I've chosen Why conform to appeal to the weak Their views matter not , they'll never affect a person's life Yet others conform , they bend till they break For what reason? Conformity is a curse among men Yet its a blessing as well... When others conform... To an abandoned idea or conception Or to a forsaken opinion from the mind of a pariah The dreamed conceptions become reality When others conform out of fear , their weakness is shown Cowardice amongst the feeble dissolves respect No one truly understands , what they see is what they accept Shame yourself , to please others who do not matter... Its the path many have chosen... A path that will lead them to inner misery Once you abandon yourself , your notions Thoughts and Ideals... You're left , no more than an empty husk Not worthy of pity...Opinions are welcome , Idiocy is not. Written October 7th, 2001 © on Feb 19 2002 02:47 AM PST   18 • 0 • 9
