Safety In Numbers?

An adage, There's Safety in Numbers. But is Safety always the best goal?

There is safety in numbers,
it covers most blunders.

But what of creativity,
when pursuing activity?

How do we find wonders,
when lock stepped with others?

This mindless captivity,
oft a useless proclivity.
