What Price Poem by Dave Alan Walker

What Price

Rating: 5.0


As the gavel
comes banging down
on the auction of life
what price was paid for our lives

And what price
will we have to keep paying

Only the government knows

Price...Hmmm price tag or bar code on our head LOL.. i dont see it on you and everybody else too because every life is priceless each of them can contribute benefits to government because what is government without resident and citizen No government can be useful if the only citizen is only president Each of us, no matter how big or small we are everyone play a role...to support each other or to generate economy...either we consumer or supplier As for individual, your vote to choose government will be valuable to them (cough) ...sorry cold hahahaa Price of us is cost for them to work as successful nation/government They will decide how valuable they are by treat us right still for everyone need to remind ourself our life is not a waste, it has value so dont fall down_Unwritten Soul

Our lives get hammered over and over with that gavel by the mistake makers and the non carers, Well written and thought out.

The people get the government they deserve. When people change, government must by neccessity change or die. Thought provoking poem.
