Indifference

"Conoform, conform!" Yelled the words of corporation "It's no longer accepted to conform" But that's all they know Individuality has lost to indifference Free thought is now defined as 'thought alike' No great minds or self-definition When I see one of you I see all of you Come one and all To see what they all see It's the genres that allow stereotypes But stereotypes are all too real The books and their covers are one in the same Spiralling into standards I fail to claim "Refuse, refuse!" Screamed the words of self-righteousness "They attempt in rebellion but fail to refuse" But it's they'll know For gaurdiance and authority won't allow difference The standards are set forever high And now they find I will never conform They fear this free thought They will never be able to understand its importance
