The Price for Everything.

There is a price on everything

A price for food

A price for your mood

There's a price for your friends

Although it depends

Whether their kind

Or their blind

Blind of the price tag

The price of selfishness

Although there is also a price for selflessness

There is a price for all

Like the price for greed

And the price of a ball

There is a price for immortality

That price is death

The price can be in cash

Or of a crash

That leads to do the death of many

And the mourns of plenty

There are prices that we can pay

But there are prices that we can't slay

So when the dragon gets stronger

And the price gets longer

You are put in the place of death

Not death of dying

But death of crying

Or death of lying

Or prying

The price tag can come in all

It is everywhere

And it is always there

Sometimes it can be in the shape of an affair

Or in the shape of despair

So beware

For the price of everything 


Inspired by all the Chinese rulers who tried to gain immortality but died instead. Qin Shi Huang I'm looking at you.
