It started when I was young, too young, but I never noticed it until just recently. I was being corrupted, by the media and my fellow peers. I never noticed how much I long to have my innocence back, how much I missed it and wanted it back. What was just an innocent game, has now turned deadly.

I decided to focus on my own failures and try to push my friends back into the arms of innocence. None listened, no one cared. In corruption you don’t have to think, you don’t have to worry about what comes next. You stay in the moment ‘now’. And you destroy your future.

Luckily I stopped myself from slipping too far into this poisonous fad. But I feel sorry for the ones that are still corrupted, who’s souls have been burnt with the brand of Mischief

I dwell on what I know now. Lone rebels, fight to be someone they are not. And so they fall into corruption and follow everyone else off the cliff. I am glad I made it out, with bruises and scars maybe, but at least my sanity is still here, and that is too precious to loose.

We fought too hard for our freedom to let our society fall to ruins and crash and burn in this tragedy . We corrupted ourselves, the very demons of our souls, Greed, Pride, and Sloth. We need to stand up for our country, right what we have so long wronged. You may not be Patriotic, you may hate the people who rules us, but this is not for them. This is for our children, our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grand children… and ourselves.
