LOYALTY

Everyone thinks it's a good thing. Be loyal and the world will reward you; Be loyal to your friends, your boyfriend, your boss, your country, your morals. I used to believe that but by now I know that's a fucking lie if I've ever heard one. Loyalty gets you nothing but betrayal.

Maybe that makes me insane. Actually, I know it makes me insane, but isn't that the truest form of logic? Someone going against the grain to support themselves when all of the facts point to loyalty being the root of man's problems? Loyalty is what gets you beaten, tortured, killed, and left to be thrown to the wolves with no one by your side.

I used to serve my country faithfully. Now, I serve the dollar bill.

Sit. Kneel. Smile. Roll over. Look pretty. Open your mouth. Bend over. Spread your legs. Tie the noose. Poison the water. Cock the pistol. Pull the trigger. Burn the body.

Money is the ultimate ruler and I was a fucking loyal follower.
