Popularity

All of the sheep, walk, skip, and frolic merrily forward. Alongside fellow companions

Your neighbor, ones kin, and ones colleges. Passively flowing downstream

Base 10. A number. Of no tactile measure. Yet growing, multiplying. Binary fission.

Are we all not but identical? We desperately vie for security amongst the crowd.

Belong. Do we? In society, an outcast is a failure. The black sheep, never belongs.

To and from one to another, we feed from seemingly ourselves. A reverberation of personality.

Us, we, him, they. Culture ricochets from sheep like paddles. Off to another follower.

Thanks for sharing this... Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
