Generic

whether to dress proper or bold
allow mimicry to be your pilot
(individuality is overrated)
acceptance is dependent on this.

absorb the influences of your comrades
the stamp of approval depends on the delivery
once the club is joined,
words are heard.

follow the herd to the slaughterhouse
(never mind asking what's going on)
be grateful:
you are of a healthy disposition,
and of greatest use;
another number.

at least free will remains;
without fat unneeded,
without bones unneeded,
to be swallowed
in one
single
bite.
