Should one never want to expand their mind,
or venture out of comforted shelter?
There are those who are ignorant and blind,
flat, uninteresting; without texture.
They seek uniformity as it brings
a sense of closure and safety to them.
They welcome newcomers under their wings
but those who seek uniqueness they condemn.
Contrast scares those used to consistency,
but progress will be found within difference.
Is it better to have equality?
Or will distinction bring more brilliance?

The closed-minded will stick to their flock, so
they won’t be out-witted by variant foe.
