They say this path is right
Take it or you may be ostracised
For fear is blemishing in their eyes
Yet they pretend to be
Happy and satisfied
Not willing to challenge the status quo
Take everything in your stride
Be willing to compromise
For you are another sheep
In this monotonous life
Obsession with your own self
Is what makes it sterile
Not a path, you recommend to
A fearless and revolutionary mind
For it's easy to camouflage
Yet ever so difficult to illuminate
In this world that is scared of a new light
