The Way of the World

Why must we follow the path

Laid out by those before?

Why must we mimic their every move,

Their every choice and more?

If one studies science,

Another studies science too;

But why not follow our own dreams,

And let our passions shine through?

If one buys a car,

Another buys a car as well;

But why not seek our own desires,

And break free from this spell?

If one joins software job,

Another joins software job indeed;

But why not forge our own path,

And fulfill our own unique need?

If we only do as others do,

We'll never find our true way;

Let's listen to our inner voice,

And live our lives each day.

So let's break free from this cycle,

And follow our own hearts;

Let's be true to ourselves,

And create our own works of art!
