We seek like minds for comfort.
Like minds for social joy.
While excluding anyone else,
especially those, that annoy.

It may be only for protection,
from bullying and abuse,
but isolating oneself to a group,
makes socializing of little use.

Some cliques become clubs,
and clubs become organizations.
All with special rules for belonging,
behavior and, often strict sanctions.

Internet interaction opened the world,
for cliques to form remote online.
Where people could assume roles,
and join cliques of their incline.

So, if you find you're in a clique,
does it restrict your view of the world?
You might consider other avenues,
a world more open flag unfurled.
