My testament to free speech

The world is numb to deep thought, its like a shallow sea Of shit and lies, what is the point in life in front of a television? Going out and getting laid, night by night Fun, parties, looking symmetrical. Then praying to God on Sundays for salvation. From what? herpes blisters and some burnt retinas. We go to church and pray then look for a meaning to life. But wouldn’t it be surreal to find that your only purpose on this planet is to sit in a building and talk to an invisable being without form? Maybe feed a child or two in a far away land. Only to have him or her blow themselves up, killing your wife or brother. Humanity is brilliant!

You've given in to a popularized box called life. There's more out there than you say.

I meant on a whole, from the point of view of a modern day American. I know there is more out there.

'Of shit and lies'...turns me off straight away...there's some good content here (without delving into a discussion of universal outlooks) but I'd like to see it edited first. 6 for now, although after a reworking it'll be worth more.

"Shit and lies", diamonds are rare and so is the truth anymore, People these days are more focused on making money and sitting on their ass than they are making a difference. Girls are told to starve themselves to look pretty, one night stands and promiscuity are a way of life. People always look for cheap comfort for themselves but never care to think about what is important in life or at what cost. This is a statement straight from my mouth, touching it up would defeat my purpose which is to expose the "modern" world we live in for what it is. Pop culture, whatever, but all it is, is shit and lies.
