Conformity

Genetic reruns
In a world of imperfect perfection
No pride taken by the fathers of sons
Choosing to wear masks to avoid detection
Conformity! O Conformity you are the executioner
Slaughtered like lambs, no comfort in uniqueness
Fitting in is the new way of life
Without it we are left to hang
In the gallows of social rejection
School hallways; a prison without cells
Bleeding out the weak
Rewarding the greedy with gluttonous fulfillment
Of transitory confidence through gossip
Venomous lyrics to an ongoing song
Poising the innocent who deserve liberation
Who cares about meaningless words!
Respect is something they know nothing of
Crushing blows dealt through secrets
Friend, a temporary term used for self gain
I have realized that conformity breeds contempt
Hate to those who act out this Shakespearian drama
Choosing false happiness over virtue
Such a macabre realization.
