Man's Fall From Love

Open your eyes and look at yourself. Are you happy with who you are? Are you 
happy with who you’ll be? The world’s changed you, turned your innocence and 
ignorance into corruption and stupidity. Magazines and tv shows tell you what to do. 
You live life through tv. Emulating the things you see. One-night stands, drugs, 
and beer, whatever they tell you to do. Guys want sluts, girls want jerks, as long 
as there’s sex, they think it works. Love is only physical, emotions overrated, 
fidelity and honesty are extinct.
