Society Sucks

Its tragic that the society treats the death of a football player through an accident,
As one of the most heartbreaking things.
That society chooses to idolize their death.
That football player could have been the worse person.
Yet they idolize them as a God.

"Society sucks". A phrase stated after the suicide of a young girl.
Its ridiculous.
The girl has been bullied
Tormented.
Abused.
By the football player that you so idolized.

It isn't Society's fault that the football player died.
It is Society's fault that the girl died.

She had a life to live.
Valedictorian.
College.
Masters degree.
Doctorate.
Who knows.

And it is Society's fault.
But do you know why.
Society chose the football player.
Society made him the bully.
Society created the image of perfection, and threw it in the girls face.

But who created Society's image.
The people of the society of course.
You, her, him, the viewers.
Even me.

We shove the image of perfectionism into the faces of the young.
The innocent.
An impossible idea, that no one cared to correct.
So isn't it our fault.

"Society Sucks."
This is true.
But it's your fault.
And mine too.
Together we can do this.
We can make the world right.
We can correct the incorrect.
And show them the light.
