Integrated
They will accept you, wholeheartedly
For who you are and what you believed
But only if you are like them sincerely
A complete likeness must be achieved
They will include you in their society
As long as you dress like they choose
You're allowed to have your own variety
Of short skirts, tight tops and high shoes
It's a multicultural and integrated city
Where everyone lives in total harmony
Many are socially intelligent and witty
Appreciative of the colourful symphony
Every instrument is made in one shop
With the same ideals and philosophy
Anything different will get the chop
Discarded in the name of false unity

A strong sincere 'message'. Some day, as you read a lot and develop your skills, you might come back to it, and make it a real 'tour de force'. The final verse is excellent. I enjoyed your rhyming.
