Out of Touch With Formalism

What's becoming trite

Is my appetite

With formalism as it relates to

Everday life

Why is such a precious gift

Sometimes very mundune like

Boring elevator music

Heard over and over again

Where we're losing our attention spans

To what matters most in our daily lives

The prize

For dodging the bullet of conformity

Seems to be a everyday routine

Where we're needed to be

Fitted and suited up with

A bulletproof vest

Shielding us from conformity

As a way of protection

Against this social mainstream

Behavior

So we can be forever free and

Out of Touch With Formalism

A quest worth savoring

After the sun rises and sets

A trend for reformation

Has yet to be explored

By all present day

Ethnic social group's

Who need to get involved

So everyone can evolve

In substantial patrons representing a higher cause

This one has me a bit confused. Formalism is a rigid view or excessive prescription to a particular practice. The first few lines are contradictory in a way. Every day life can mean a number of things to others and encompasses a totality that is difficult to reduce and quantify within formalism as defined. I feel this would be more powerful with greater specificity in what you're considering within the realm of formalism- is it the religious Christian doctrine within America, the world, societal expectation, child rearing, morality, art, education? An intriguing subject, with fine tuning, it would be a most compelling argument.
