"You measure democracy by the freedom it awards its dissidents,
and not the freedom it gives to its assimilated conformists."
- Abbie Hoffman
(but I'm paraphrasing him).
Post Labor Day non conformists unite
even if it means getting kicked off a flight
protesting with hues
still wearing on cue
ivory to cream colored ghostly whites!
9-4-17
be a follower
afraid to be the real you
conformists all lose
just lap dog fame
disingenuous is your name,
cookie-cutter fame
deceit fills your day
selling your soul to belong
empty shell on sand

All of our lives were fed Disney lies about how perfect the world is
Then the day comes one we're forced to breathe deep the darkness that envelopes our soul
We spend so much time being conformists and blind til our death finally sneaks from behind
He's come to reap all the secrets we keep while he stares from his cold lifeless eyes
Revenge, pretend or carry the pain
Sadism heals no hurt
A pretender bleeds to death
The weight of pain builds your strength
Change, blend or disdain
Crusaders changed the world
Conformists stood in their way
Deniers remained astray
Crossroads, dead ends or a one way
Dead ends have no life
A one way has no options
Adventure into the crossroads
Aware,
I may not
Appeal to others.
But, I know the truth
The world is an illusion,
Not the safe harbor for conformists;
Yet, I can't be fragile just because I was,
Outcasted from the heedless reign of the traitors
Arrogant and stubborn they can't see the verity, but an illusion
Perversion Is their abode, far from their own conceived ethical norms...
An era of peace, love and flowers
psychedelic drugs, sex orgies, people-power
Out to shake up the world every which way
violence eventually carried the day
long hair, ripped jeans, love-beaded conformists
became ‘black-power,’ SDS, urban guerilla performists
Preaching morality, practicing brutality
~ trampled ‘neath law-‘n-order mentality
Feathered Fiends
