Anomaly

Hope and despair, two sides of the same coin,

Currency often spent without much thought;

To society, to whom we adjoin,

Little cogitation of what we “ought”.

The world is overburdened with extremes,

Subtle shades of gray eliminated;

A resplendent world with infinite themes,

Consigned to the majority sated.

Angst and self-reflection are disallowed,

Utilitarians are resolute;

Groupthink and uniformity reign proud,

Disagreements are relegated moot.

Being unique has become negative,

Do not feel pressure to choose how to live.
