The sad thing about this culture is that now a days, it seems like the only time you can be spiritually comfortable is when you're high, and even that is considered to be an act on the fringes of society...

And as she scanned the images
humming by in lurid web sites
she decided that no matter what
the pain
or the cost,
it is still better to be feisty
and mad with manic energy
than to drown behind a veil of tears

And pining for buff bodies
baked with gold
a pound of flesh that's bought and sold
Until then you will know
if all you have to sacrifice is time,
you'll do just fine.
