The Hate Parade

May I be so bold, 
as to not be sold, 
into trade, 
flaunted in your consumerist... parade, 
I shall not whirl, I shall not twirl, 
I shall not be part of your shallow world, 
and although you may poke and prod, 
I will reject your king and god, 
for I myself know what I am, 
not you, or them, or Uncle Sam, 
for I now know what it's like to "be", 
I have found individuality.
