What They Want From You Poem by Ananta Madhavan
What They Want From You
‘They', the pressures you do not recognise because
They are dispersed in the world you never made,
But the life you were born into.They want you to
Conform, confirm, affirm or perish;
For hell is isolation.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My belief that we need not be too sensitive to the pressure of public
opinion and our own personal circle when we want to express a point of view which may be different from theirs.We have to 'walk alone', as
Rabindranath Tagore said in a song he composed.

My note says it all. We can be non-conformist, but it has a social cost.
