Conformation.

This is a word in which our society is based.

Every breathe we take is in order.

We cannot utter words which offend.

Nor can we walk freely on the streets.

But what if we could?

Any thought could be spoken,

and any street could be walked upon at any time

without the fear of being taken

by a masked stranger in the night.

How could we know?

This is the unknown.

What is the unknown you ask?

It is the stillborn child's future;

The world after we depart it;

The thoughts of a stranger;

But what it is most is our unused potential,

the thoughts, feelings and actions we are afraid to do.

How does conformation relate to this?

It is the reason there is an unknown.
