In this world of delusion
man has naught but confusion
as he stands and walks
as he waits for his salvation

a man is a cattle among the herd
conforming to majority's word
he eats and walks among the sheep
and scatters away when the flock is stirred

he gives up his own pace
he would willingly lose the race
for man craves deeply for his acceptance
no matter what the case

take the road less traveled by
a great poet once said
for it will make all the difference
to this, light must be shed

In this world of conformity
where man struggles to be accepted
man loses more than dignity
as his identity is slowly tainted

man must strive to create his path
and urge others to do the same
for only then shall a man be free,
only then can greatness be gained

man must strive to break away
from the chains by which he's bound
he must learn to follow his own path
for it is there that happiness is found

though this world is filled with conformity
man still has a chance to choose
to exist with all sheep and cattle
or to thrive among the wolves
