Stand in line, shuffle forward, keep your eyes on your feet.
Incentivized blindness coming soon to your street.
Life dictated in smiles, with the lies so discreet:
"Everyone's welcome, all loved ('til you step off the beat)".
Never speak if your values are deemed obsolete.
Consider their feelings, stand down, take a seat.
Even if the words choke you, it's "my truth" you must eat.
