Labelled


			People walk the streets,
			Each belonging to a sect
			To which there has been built 
			A stereotype.
			
			Poeple walk the streets,
			Not being themselves,
			But a version
			That has been mutated
			By their preferred stereotype.

			One can cast down
			This facade
			And reveal themselves
			To very few.

			Individuality seen only
			By one of a clan to another.
			To throngs of others:
			Stereotypes walk the streets.
