How Conformity Is Achieved Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How Conformity Is Achieved

Rating: 2.5


Take an abnormal way of life,
And hype it as accepted.
Ensure every aspect of it...
Is praised for its ways and acclaimed.

Take those who do not fit,
This picture of twisted mental bliss...
And defame them as misfits.
With an announcement made of this.

And that's how conformity is achieved.
With a maddening insanity,
Increasingly projected.
Respected and received.

Very straightforward. You get your point across, but perhaps you sacrifice some artful poetic-ness in the process...
