The Lies Of Life Poem by Ethan Wilson

There are many lies in life
But what about the lies of life itself?
The ones that we a forced to marry like a wife
Before we get a chance to live before we sell

Get an education, go to work, retire
And don't forget to pay those taxes
But I can't help but feel this is everything no one should desire
Like someone hid the meaning of life in a letter sealed with wax

Did anyone stop to ask
Why should we live this way?
Just because that's how it's been in the past
I can't help but feel that only the rich get a say

And how many of those people are there?
I can promise you that it is very few
How can everyone just live and bear
That the lies of life are always on cue
