Those Who Don'T Join
Join
Or be conformed
The ideas that fuel our thoughts are like a cinema flick
Carefully crafted by those who hold influence
Strategic
Confining
Education is a production line
Miss a step and one’s left behind
First comes primary, then secondary school
Or rather inspection
Then they are hastily shipped out to sea
Where the menacing waves batter them to their knees
They begin to buckle, blend and amend
Whereas they now need to stand out and be different
After years of being used to conform
They feel like they are being reborn
Those who don’t join end satisfied
Always kept true to who they are
Knowing exactly where to set their bar
And continuously towards that, they stride
