20 First Century Weapons

Location

Today's weapons are not guns nor knives.

The 20 first century weapons consist of Photoshop and lies.

Media is the weapon itself,

But we hold the power on whether we inflict pain on ourselves.

 

Our minds are fed with an unhealthy image.

From childhood we digest societies misconception of perfection,

trying to achieve the look of societies objectives.

The cycle goes on until we slam the breaks.

Do we want our children to feel this way?

 

Remember the shame, relive the pain.

Do not encourage the media's game.

The cycle goes on until we slam the breaks.

Do we want our children to feel this way?
