What Have We Become?

This is the age for which we live.

Where innocence are gone. 
Truth has been silenced.
 Self expression is nothing more than peer pressure.
Self respect lay in the hands of those that read news stand tabloids.
Inner beauty is for novels.
Passion ends in court.
Death is just life.
Addiction is just away to get away with a crime.
Abuse has no shame.
Guilt has become a pleasure.
              And
Love? What is that?
