The Frailty of Relations."
I stood back and watched it crumbling
then wondered in awe when it finally...
Did fall
Sure, all the signs were there but I
guess I was just to young to care
Squandered away first love and family
like most young men do as it is, it doesn't
seem like we anymore have the fortitude
that holds it all together like glue like
they used to
70 years ago families thrived and lasted
I've heard of marriages that have surpassed
three-quarters of a century...
Shit, that's amazing to me
I know that, that was a different time and
mentality...
And things weren't really as beautiful on
the inside as the outside made it appear
to be
I look at my mom and pop; shit with the
way he treats her theirs should have a long
time ago stopped
But she believes in that old school shit...
No matter how he treats her, with his ass
she has to live
And it doesn't help that their religion teaches
her that shit
The mans the head and you should bow
down to his dick
That was old school America
What a fucking crock...
Fake facade
The outsides surreal but the insides full of
putrid rot
