Identical Splendor

I am trapped in an invisible fence composed of identical houses
All I hear is the continual rediscovering of obvious beauty
Lawns of lush green grass that the children are forbidden from
Dolled up mail boxes covered in illuminating flowers distract from the unseen ugliness oceans away
Cars with endless curves and easy music blasts the ideas of progress away
There is infinite uncharted wisdom to explore up and down and inside and out
But we remain frightened Bond girls with the walls caving in on the right and left
Though we can blend invisibly through it with our shadowy eyes and pulsating muscles
Simply illuminating our cherished ideals of gold, white, flat, hard, and rainbowed color
Cheaply stylized beer and drugs pollinated in pyrite is the obvious escape of the lazily disenchanted
The Apathetic Middle must challenge the Extremes with Ideas and action and not channel turning to escape the invisible fence.

Can we persuade a change of such agreed upon beauty
