Conform Poem by Jessica Dehn
Conform
DO not DO that
do Not be YOU.
In this world of inform and standard
we preach to be ones self,
when the truth beyond the words are....
NO be all the same.
We talk of peace and loving
each others differences,
but that is what separates us
and has created the fear and hate.
A little boy filled with dreams and aspirations
looking forward to the new day,
until that moment when his heart is crushed
by other to shortsighted too see his gift.
A day dreamer laying on the grass
creating art within the clouds
until the pain of the chanting
at the school that they are odd
or weird become way too much
So while the indidvuals hide their light away
and conform to those around them,
the world becomes grey,
the dreams far and distant
and we weep at the loss
of wonder and beauty.
So next time you look at someone
a bit different than you
and sneer or be rude...
remember that soon because of you
each day you have left and
what you leave to your children
will be less and less
until there is only the same.
I love the creativity and the naturality in this poem. Good Work Done. Kudos Dehn...
A painful truth: (I wish more people were able to appreciate the wonder and beauty of being different, truly different. Not just fashionably different... odd how it's a little fashionable. Yes, lets pray that there are more people out there advocating for people to feel comfortable to be themselves and dream their pretty dreams. Why judge someone/something that is bringing no harm to anyone, anything? Leaves me clueless. Great write! Thanks! :)
I think honestly this is great. The nail on the head. I thank God for artists like you that bring color to this grey world! Outstanding...
