Don't be a Sheep
Society is like
a
herd
of sheep.
Bowing down to conformity
Blindly
Following
The leader
Never questioning authority
Brainwashed into thinking
What “they” want us to
Stand out
And you may as well be
Walking with a target on your back
To “fit in” one must
Behave
Like the others
Think
Like the others
You must live
A life considered acceptable
Go to school
Get a job
Raise a family
You say to yourself
I am free
But are you really?
Is THIS what you really want?
Or is it D
R
I
L
L
E
D
Into your brain?
They ENCOURAGE you
To think for YOURSELF
But when you do
you’re singled out
You become
a FreAk
So.
What’s it gonna be?
Will you be your OWN person?
Or…
Will
You
Be
A
Sheep?
