Young American Man

Withering away your days Waiting on some undefined occurrence To move you on to participating In a life of abounding meaning Change your ways, live life today! Living life drunk and stoned Surviving as a numbed-up drone Muddled memories of momentary joy Awash in an endless frittering of time Change your ways, live life today! Faith constrained to personal intellect Hope buried in the ashes of popular culture Love boxed up from a narcissistic education Deceived by the Father Of Lies Change your way, get a life today! Change your way, get life everlasting!

Yep... Did you see that a young man just slew his father and injured his mother b/c they demanded he stop watching video games, get off his butt, and do something with his life. Seems as if he received the message in his perverse, twisted way.
