To resist conformity is to stand aside and to stand out...it is the risk of being an individual...

-----

Obey!

That instinct to community,
That holds us in its sway,
That basic instinct driving us,
To live a certain way,
Caring not for loneliness,
But taking up the chains,
That bind us into unity,
So no individual remains,
Draws us into one accord,
And must needs drive away,
The thing the group cannot afford,
The mind that won't obey!
