Band-aid

Instead of fighting for reasonable work hours we get excited about fast food and microwaves that will allow us to work longer hours so that we become dependent on the system.

Instead of supporting local farms and organic foods we donate money for the cure for cancer.

Instead of exercising we buy diet pills.

Instead of facing our fears in love and life we become whores to feel loved for a short while; slut ourselves out. later to keep those relationships founded on toxic needs in our "friendship drawer" to pull out for an occasional "pick me up". like a secret stash of booze that the alcoholic keeps for the weak moments. Like that "one final drag" of a cigarette that will start awaken our addiction once more.

Instead of fighting for what is right we find excuses for all that we do that is wrong.

Band-aids prevent air from getting to the wound. Prevent a scab to form. Make the healing process longer. They make wounds more obvious. Yes, we know you are wearing a band-aid, we will ask what happened, and you will get attention.
