Welcome to the world we live in!
Where dread looms omnipresent (Blot the sun!).
Here we all wear happy smiles
Paper thin, hate belied!
Vile volatility mistook for virtue
Makes selfishness the lesser evil.
Kindness masquerades as morals
Facade translucent lest you toe the line.
A tongue the judge that leads the jury
You're either guilty or haven't confessed!
Enemies made of former friends
Minds infested blue and red.
Ok, maybe the picture's a little bleak,
But pity not and rest assured
Here your vengeance comes for free!
After all, everyone else has to live here too!

And with eight billion on this small blue orb there is not much foot space and it seems everyone is stepping on someone's toes. Well written
Indeed, better break out the steel toed shoes! Thank you!
You are most welcome Alex. So it would seem, used to wear them when I worked in a mine in my youth I'm afraid I have thrown them away
