Herd Immunity Properly Practiced

One wishes for immunity to the herd
Freedom from the expectations of others
From being slotted and characterized
From the duty to be happily so

“Defined a generation” is a lie –
A man defines himself as he thinks best
Owing obedience only to God
(and traffic lights; let’s not get stupid, eh)

Otherwise, individual and free -
Oh,
If only everyone were just like me


Line 5 – “Man” and “he” are gender-neutral.
Line 11 – The irony is deliberate.
