I tried not to lie, and so
They made me an outcast.
I saw greed and did not call
it charity. I saw
ugliness and did not call
it beautiful. I saw
ambition and did not call
it service. And I saw
brainwashing and did not call
it an education.

For my candor, I was shunned,
hated. But it did not
matter to me. My inside
and outside were conformed.
