A public appeal towards the mob,
a desperate plea for acceptance.
Temporary respite from the herd,
the sadistic and blind crowd.
Poison-tongued and finger-pointing,
their reflexively-swung gavel.
Vulnerability, uncertainty, doubt,
concealing all notion of choice.
Trapped, unable to escape;
view of the exit buried,
beneath the mania of the mass.
