Fear

In order to be properly connected
One must be infected with plain
Leaving no evidence of personal grain
To avoid instant removal by disapproval
If sporting too many discerning ways
Mucking the social mix with nay says

Such fear forces fierce policing
Fleecing humor from every rumor
Tightening the gate of opportunity
To let pass only those asses
Tethered to the tune of normality
The usual form of community
