Floating With the Flow

To you who truly treasure self-respect,
has there been a humiliating 
instance

when to succumb low, and sheepishly so,
to public opinion's 
preponderance

is neither a betrayal of your worth
nor a slap to your reason's 
countenance?

and spinelessly you go, float with the flow
of popular passion and 
circumstance?
