Prerequisites,
Restrictions,
Expectations,
Conformity.
Be like us,
Embrace our culture,
Don’t deviate from the norm,
Love all the same things,
Swear allegiance,
Adhere to the rules.
Destroy subversives,
Kill free thought,
Denigrate diversity,
Eradicate critical thinking.
A lovely stroll down
The primrose path to fascism.
Great piece Guy, this is a topic I usually like exploring in my own poems… Society always expects so much from a person that it seems as though we have to submit even our individually to them, then forever question the true meaning of the words freedom and choice…
Well said, Martine. I’m always interested in exploring how people can follow their own path. Cheers, Guy.
