Sex as if it is not private,
violence as if it is right.
Just because we have grown immune to it,
does not mean it is alright.
We watch willingly in horror;
actions most would never think to act.
But they are becoming more like a mirror,
and to them we are beginning to react.
Why do we surround ourselves
with what we know in our hearts is wrong?
To me works of the devil seem,
so prominent, so strong.
