Yes. That's the general theme of my poetry. It's a bit played out, but I'm going to continue writing it until I get it right, because I have yet to pinpoint it. And "smile sweetly, be pure" vs "but don't refuse your peers" I was thinking about how there's all this supposed peer pressure and whatnot about drugs and sex, and people say "you have to stay clean" and whatnot...all these preachy conservative kids around here, and then there are those who are like just all over it with the stuff...and of course, it's just one of those things...I don't know if this is coming across the right way....um...let me start @ the beginning:

Make yourself look important or don't look like a fool. The way to do this is to listen to your elders and don't make yourself stand out too much. You must be a slave to authority and never take a stand.
Then it's like are you really scared of the end or is it just going to be another adventure? Fear is something they're using on you so they can use you.
Things tend to get hypocritical and everyone is out for only himself.
Make yourself dumb and give in because that's what you're supposed to do.
Look sweet, talk dirty.

Okay yeah broken down it sounds harsh. But I swear you just have to take it as it is. That's the purpose. I mean, obviously the people reading it aren't the ones who really need to hear it. But you need to actually say things in order to get the results. Yeah now I look and sound like an idiot, and the blood is on my hands....
