Hello, Einstein! :)
Great write, it really got me thinking.
There are adults who haven't learned to work through their fears and frustrations. Instead, they live with those emotions, and strangely find them comforting. These people have trouble connecting with others and their relationships are always abusive. These people want to place blame and punish others because it is what they know. Their families and society failed to guide them to adulthood. They abuse because they want to be abused.
In a healthy society these people would be rarities, seen for what they are and cared for. They wouldn't be out finding like-minds and "nurturing" new generations. 
Fabian mentioned in his review, "There is a crack in everything God has made." there are cracks in man made things as well. We've become fascinated by tv stories and new tech, so proud of our cars and homes, so stylized and branded and enthralled and rigid with anticipation that we've become the cracks in our society, our numb society. And, those are our children who will be lacing up their boots. 
Look at their willfulness, what could have been greatness had a parent been understanding and nurturing instead of distracted or abusive, or had a neighbor or teacher cared. What precious minds have we ignored?  

We will, as a society, learn to forgive and connect, and help these people; or we will keep spanking "children" for mismanaging their emotions; and feigning shock to match our facades of innocence.
Ourselves, our families, our society, our planet, these things matter most.

oh my goodness dear friend ..what a passionate outpouring ...your response generated from reading could not be more gratifying for me the "writer" ... thank you for putting time and thought to your review ..i agree 100% .. we are a cracked people and cracked society ..and the destructing of it is subtle, exact and relentless in my opinion ...thank you for taking time

I loved my Doc Martens and wore them well into my 50's. But, I am a fighter and they were my "power" shoes when I needed to be strong or tougher than whatever I faced that day - from unpleasant co-workers to City Hall. Your use of "skin head", and the final line about how black they are? Smart.

*choke* You made me laugh out loud, too bad that eggroll went down instead of out! Let's hope you're right as I suspect I'm looking at some times ahead when I might get caught with my pants down...wait...that's something else, isn't it?

ahahahahaha thanks for a fine chuckle in the wee hrs of the morning Carol :)

Clothes do 'maketh' man.. and somehow, turn him or even her into another being. I wonder the meaning of your writing here.. whether yet another topic to be completed or, something from inside out. Knowing the way your mind works at times.. probably both!

Will mull over this write, return.. see if i can interpret by finding a larger picture or maybe just think of it as a gem. A black one for good or for bad?

The vid is of one of my favourite Beatle songs.. will be humming it all day now!
