Nothing Is Something For Nothing Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

I have gazed outside, then within and seen the despicable loath for value
A generation that knows the price of everything but the value of none
Google at the quick dispensation for every answer sought after
What is the value of sacrifice, how can I get it without sweating for nothing

Everywhere you look people wanting something for nothing
The emptiness looms with all the rooms we create for greed
Determined to be and to get we end up empty wanting something
When we end up with nothing eternal where shall we turn for a fill

For lack of understanding we seek true meaning
Blind to facts we ignore the value of the little things
Nothing is something for nothing every single piece fits into the all
When we strive let our endeavors be to the depth of the sacrifices we make

Time, reason and place for things under the sun
High we jump and low we stoop to get the understanding
Why shall we have to work to thrive and prosper in whatever we will
Nothing is something for nothing, we shall toil and uncover the value of it all
