Forgive me if I don't understand
how life can be lived
where people, places and things
are commodities.
Chips for barter and trade
for the benefit of
where you may or may not be
or what you may or may not need.
No regard for how your
flippant actions affect
the emotional stability,
a naturally human condition.
And in those respects,
even your children
have become a major pawn,
Just another sacrifice.
And yes, on the surface
you are surely the victim
because the price paid
is never worth whats given.
But the solitude you feel
at the end of the day
will continue to be your ghost
while you are the merchant, we your trade.
