I am not much of a social acolyte
I’m not a follower, no clout parasite
No member of the cult of personality
Life on my own terms, no strings holding me
Seeing perspectives, more than just my own
Brings benefits through which I have grown
Taught lessons and skillful means were honed
Rescue and saved me as time has shown
They often say too open a mind makes the brain fall out
But I say seeing more than self better the systems flout
Because you cannot trick a mind equipped with a wide view
Because you cannot leave behind who runs ahead the queue
Because you cannot circumvent critical thought to set askew
Because this is the way of progress shaped by me and you
Every fact, an opinion, shared by those credibly other
That lives only until we delve deeper as we druther
Change – the only thing permanence can’t smother
A bandwagon, life’s events, made of this fother
Beliefs are stubborn and strange, how they compel us
Preferential reality, as if that should mean much
What we’re willing to accept and what we’ll never discuss
Builds the lanes which, when crossed, most often finds distrust
They often say too open a mind makes the brain fall out
But I say seeing more than self better the systems flout
Because you cannot trick a mind equipped with a wide view
Because you cannot leave behind who runs ahead the queue
Because you cannot circumvent critical thought to set askew
Because this is the way of progress shaped by me and you
Congregate for similarities and dissent will disappear
That focus on distinctions most often brings the tear
A human is a human, in this we must trust to hear
One life, one race, one planet, we must equalize each sphere
