Thoreau's Idea

Step one, conform

Step two, follow the norm

Step three, now listen carefully

Think free but suppress such defiant acts

What we are told is success

Lies in our ability to impress

Fight this systems wrath

Wear that most personal path

Sweeping change is hopeless

Within oneself is all we possess

For resolve and its ability to warn

To diverge, is to be reborn

Thoreau’s perfect idea

Live the dance of the free
