Post Modern Acceptance

I'm a sheep,
the world is my shepherd;
I do not want
but, I follow so naturally.

I'm a bee,
the world is my queen;
I do not want
but, I bow down so helplessly.

I'm stuck in the habit that I cant break,
in a pattern I can't rearrange,
in a way of life that can't be changed,
and apparently you're the same
apparently we're all the same.

I am a dog,
the world is my trainer;
I do not want
but, without it I can not learn.

I am a baby,
the world is my mother;
I do not want
but, life without her I cannot discern.

I've figured out the game,
its one I'll never win.
You can't win against the world.

I am a man,
the world is my religion,
I do not want
but, I do not have a choice.

and apparently you're the same
apparently we're all the same.
