"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; it is not so much the opinion itself, but the audacity of wanting to think for themselves, something that they do not know how to do."
— Arthur Schopenhauer
Can’t understand the thinking - no rationale involved
Fall in step with those around you
No questioning the reason: a herd mentality
Catastrophic, marching downward.
It’s risky to think of raising your voice,
You’re on the blacklist because there’s no choice.
Just copy and paste if they dress like a clown,
The nail that sticks up gets hammered back down.
Only trying to fit in, so we can’t blame the pawn,
Coming from a powerless point.
Preying upon the helpless instead of helping them
Out of the hole that others put there.
