Analysis of Security



Society tells you lonliness is bad;
You always need a friend.
You let friends enter;
They stab you in the back, gossip and beat you.
A vicious circle of pain.
As soon as you're born you take your place;
In the world of suffering.
Realizing there is only one way out;
You reach for the darkness.
Running from the light;
Closer you get, blacker the night, the safer you feal. And to society
you have entered insanity;
When all you feel is SECURITY.
