Seek and Destroy

Seeking attention at the cost of degradation 
Self made popularity at the price humiliation 
Constant flood of people with little self respect
Looking for acceptance that you'll later regret
Things that were once sacred put out on display
The new entertainment now you get judged for days 
Smiles and acceptance soon turns into despair
A reputation ruined that you can not repair
Beware of your actions because that is how you'll be perceived
Now you sit there hollow another soul deceived
