The Price
Everything nice comes at a price
So that’s why always gamble with dice hoping to rise
Poverty holding us back ….suffocating us…. air tight
Every single force we mobilise in pursuit of emancipation
Makes our circumstances more rigid
Like a piece of metal on a vice
This drives us insane
It makes us
Shapes us
Moves us
Above and beyond
‘Spiritually physically
Because we all have to pay the price.
We pay to receive
We invest to have
No matter how you behave
You will pay a price
Some even sell their soul just for fame
Imagine losing your true self just to be on top of the game
I know a couple of girls back home who’d give up their bodies to old men who were born before the Cold War just for a fancy lunch at school.
I know we are all supposedly ‘masters of our own destiny’
But this life,
Well I can’t really say much about how aliens live in Mars and outer space
But this life doesn’t give us much of a choice
So we end up wishing upon shooting stars
Dreaming of fancy cars
Aspiring to be stars
Cognisant of the fact that this world’s everything comes with a price tag.
Coz everything nice comes at a price
Resulting in human beings wasting their most priceless non-renewable resource, time
Investing in an unlawful illogical feeling and desires commonly known as Crime
Paying more to get more
Battering our conscience to an unbelievable degree of sore……ness
Just to harness every little possible dangerous innovation
That may probably potentially lead to the nation’s destruction
All this just to satisfy our own selfish need
We all shower 2-3 times a day yet we all have that unclean dirty demon
Deeply rooted in our soul
Feels like 2 opposing military forces in our own anatomy
Nuclear/Atomic war within our blood stream and minds
As we ride in our Carriage of Unrealistic stupid obsessions
Ascending to a level of our very own self destruction
I wonder how we survive………..
Funny I’m still alive
Coz the other day I was about to dive
Deep into the ocean then I thought of the most priceless currency in all spheres, ‘love’
We all have to pay a price, its entirely up to us to decide….
So choose wisely
And me? I pay with LOVE….
