lately i disagree

Lately
It seems to me
We forgot how and why it’s important
To sometimes disagree

How did we
Become such fearful slaves
To uniformity
When and why
Did we buy the lie
It’s evil to express our individuality
That how I experience Divinity
Should be the cause of your insecurity
Unless it conforms to your religious philosophy
Absolutely
Yet you admit the universe still baffles you in its complexity

Lately
It seems to me
That we get so needlessly scared to be ourselves
Unless we have a majority
But why should the majority decide for me
Wasn't I the one sperm out of a billion swimming free
To choose the right tube inside of my mommy
The DNA in my eyeball is too unique
For you tell me how to see
I remember where my soul was before
So don’t tell me how to be

Lately
It seems to me
There is deliberate effort by those in authority
To ignore a truth, blatantly obvious for anyone who cares to see
Nature favours diversity!
In everything, colour, function and sexuality
Like it or not
What is truly unnatural is striving for total uniformity
And trying to dictate destiny
When freewill only works when it’s …free
Uncertainty
That is just the way it was meant to be
In order to fuel creativity
For eternity
