Giving Thanks for a Given Chance

To say I'm a great person,
Having followed an illegitimate commandment,
Says a lot for the new generation.
A generation of indecisive followers.
A population unhappy with themselves.
An existence that thinks with the mind of others,
As opposed to a mind of their own.
So, thank you kindly,
For complimenting something so seemingly desolate.
Something I call myself.
