individualism is dead and nobody mourns in its destruction,
we've all melded and fell prey to conformity's seduction
but I refuse to obey and fall into line,
my life is my own and the decision is mine
we can not be herded as though we are sheep,
we have our own thoughts some shallow some deep
so remove your masks of constant conformity,
and enjoy diversity in all its enormity

I really liked this! I am a christian but i am not a traditionalist!
I am spiritual but i dont go to church everytime the doors are open.
I loved this because i seen spirtual in it...and yes we all are different i think the world should look at the heart of a person.
Great verse that could mean many things!

Your favoritest poem by yourself!
. Even though I still like the new one better... I can't say that I don't like this. It raises a very good point about society and the people that have created [or destroyed it]. Conformity, bla. Like the uniforms we have to wear next year 
. Think I can go to school all nude to protest? 
Once again, the rhyming! The only one I'm not crazy about is the second to last stanza, but it's not horrible at all!
GREAT job
diggin it majorly

wow what a statement this poem makes, good job, its really well written and a powerful idea is what i like about it. When i lived in a small town, i thought that way all the time. Its the type of town where popularity is a contest and everybodies the same, even the people who dont think they are the same (are the same) if you know what i mean. Great work keep it up.

We can not be herded, as though we are sheep,
we have our thoughts, some shallow, some deep.
Like the point, like the stand.
