A Summer Midnight's Dream

The devil asked me
Where're you going to join
The minority or the majority
I said the right side
The devil asked me again
Which is the right side 
The majority or the minority
I repeated the same answer
The right side of course
The devil said why are you so stupid
I said I came from a world of ambiguity,confusion and hegemony
Th devil said oh I see
I would like to join you
To see this wonderful world
The devil then followed me back to the earth 
And suddenly I woke up in fright 
To find that a devil 
Has already resided in my heart 
A long time ago
As I used to force myself 
To follow and choose the majority
Since a long time ago

Many don't want to be left behind so they join the majority because it makes life easier to be accepted by the mass. But I think we need to do what is right by our conscience, thanks for the deep and meaningful read dear poet.
