Conform!

Conform! Conform!
Stop being an individual,
Stop jutting out like a sore thumb,
You're just a speck of soon to be forgotten carbon,
You're pitiful for yearning to be seen or heard,
Don't "aspire,"
Don't "stick out."

All of those people "having opinions,"
All of those people acting "like an individual,"
They are foolish for their arrogance,
They are pathetic for their "can-do" attitudes,
Don't struggle against "the man,"
Don't use your "imagination."

Sieze hoping for "change,"
Sieze hoping period, Nothing will change because of your existence,
Nothing shall be moved by your being,
So let their be silence and resignation from you, and conform!
Conform.

  1. Ha! Do I sense some sarcasm and humor here? This is great (even if it is the truth or not). Some people really try so hard to BE unique that perhaps they are not.
