Darker Days and Zero Tolerance

Aren't we always running into a problem we must face each day of our lives? 
Bashing our brain countless times while the damage torques the very fabrics of our minds?
Captured and Controlled by impulsive emotions,
Damaging the one life with dead end thoughts, which is also impulsive.

Embalming our lives in what seems to be the easiest way out
Forgetting about Moral and Honor...
Growing Old and Pathetic...
Harnessing new technology to make things that would otherwise build Character and 
Strength of the mind, easier.

I have been guilty of this as well for it is the new way of life-and I am so young.

Jumping at every opportunity we get to make a good life for ourselves
Kicking in doors and fighting for what we want instead of what is better for us all
Leaning towards what’s Simple in place of what’s Right.

Morale is so Far Away now
No one cares why should we?
Only because Someone has to
People make small efforts, but only some are willing to go the Distance.

Quietly they may hunt to exact revenge on someone who has hurt their feelings
Resembling a nuisance who cannot find their own happiness
Searching for that dramatic ending that fuels their very existence.
Turning away would be cowardice and “lame”

Until they realize what they have done wrong, unless the realization never comes at all

Vacant is the mind of the simplistic 
Watch in horror as they never mature or find true responsibility until it’s too late
Xenoparasites are often compared to their way of life as it deteriorates 
Zero tolerance is what we have for you.

Apathy cannot be an emotion I share
Because there is no avoiding these kinds of people
Creation of Destruction and Selfishness...
Darker Days flood my eyes.
Earn your right to put a smile upon my face.

Forget not the burden of Time nor Judgment.
Gradually there becomes no Safe place to exist.
Hatred consumes me,
Irritation makes my skin boil.

Jump into the Valley of Death,
Killing other's with your Second Hand.
Litterer, Violator, Abuser, Destroyer of the Free World...
