Degradation of our Society

Folder: 
Society

Our society is in ruins;
the values of our culture
have collapsed.

The innocence of our children
has been destroyed
by the sensualization of the media.

You turn on the TV
or surf the Internet
and all you see is sex.

It’s everywhere you look;
even those that attempt
to flee from it have no escape.

No wonder we have become
so sex-crazed when
they’ve programmed our minds
to think only of sexual images.

My fear lies in the effect
on the next generation.

Is there any hope that
our offspring will have
healthy views of their bodies
and of intimacy in general?

Or will they all be so damaged
by what they have seen
that they will be scarred for life?
