My Life the Prize

How society tries to conform the way I live to better suit the world...
Jude me as you like, society
For it is not on my list of proprieties
For you have made man's mind ignorant
To misused, to unused, to flippant
Revelation I pray comes to you
For you, you would have the world move
Do not try and prove yourself good
For you deeds cannot be changed
If they could. See the death and
Lies your works have done?
Running like poisonous snakes they come.
My life is the prize and conformity the snare.
