Poem - Price of life

Price of life

Life... pain... beauty... suffering... gain and loss.
Love and hate.
All of which mean less than what they seem,
All of them above...

In life comes many of these things
Gain always comes at a price, a price of £££ (Cha Cha Ching)
It always comes at a price of losssssss,
Comes at the price of Pain.

Life has more meaning than this; do you know what it is?
Gandhi said “Abolish this slavery; we are all free and one.”
King said “Unite hands, all races disintegrate, children play without care...”
Even Michael Jackson said “Heal the world make it a better place...”
(for you and for me and the entire human race)

Now they say kids become rich, become big; make more money than you can eat.
Now they say kids don’t use violence,
While PM’s declare war.
And now kids know not of what was said before...
About peace, love, harmony and tranquillity.

Life is now at a price of money, pain, blood loss and death
Pain is now at the price of more than can be lost...
More than this Earth can endure.
Beauty is at the price of dignity..
At the price of liposuction and tan myself brown
And bleach myself white.
Beauty becomes vanity
And vanity is Narcissus who drowned in
Admiration of himself.
Learn his lesson now.

Suffering is at the price the price at what someone bought.
Suffering is the oppression of all mankind; it is the cry of a starving child.
Suffering is now at the price of innocent lives.

Gain and loss will remain the same with but one exception
More lost than gained.
Do not laugh too soon nor cry in joy.
Wait for a while for a shadow may fall.
Love taken for granted; love at the price of gifts and materialistic nonsense.
It now seems easier to hate,
no money to spend but all on yourself
the world is now a hate filled place; no manners, no courtesy.
No love but anything but hate.

The darkness is descending, only few can change it; will you join me or are you one of them?
Enter the light...
