Dare To Differ

(Prologue) We open our scene with a conversation between two characters. A dialogue between a father and his son. They live in a world where being different is a crime, and people who are unique are isolated. "Now son, heed my words! I speak the honest truth. This is advice that you should carry All throughout your youth." "Don't dare to be different, Don't dare to stand out! Bad things come to those Who wonder about." "You see that girl that is crying in strife. Son... she is crying because she is about to lose her life." "She wears her hair different She talks about change. My boy, don't dare to be different Being different is strange." "My boy... this is why The girl must die!"

I follow your rhyming lines which to me do not feel forced, but the title belies your advice to NOT dare to differ or worse things could come to you. But what the heck, as they say what's in a name, or here, title, it doesn't detract from the advice you are offering. good write..
