“Those faces you see every day on the streets were not created entirely without hope: be kind to them: like you they have not escaped.” ~ Charles Bukowski

 Everything you touched was phony.

Everything you read, swallowed, admired, proclaimed, refuted, defended was made up of hate-ridden myths and grinning masquerades, phony to the hilt.The mania for telling lies and believing them is as contagious as the itch.
