The Cost Of Living Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

From conception an innocence,
The miracle of purity 
Comes with a price
Life, the grand act
Life, life is the price

Injected into this world
Accepting the role
Of that dice
Never provided any control 
Life, life is the price

It's a sentence with no parole
One must accept
Accept the dice-roll
And the sentence is life 
Life, life is the price.

What tragedy in this act, this play
This prison, this Godforsaken birth day
After birth, what is the price?
Don't have to ask me twice:

Life, a life sentence 
Until death
Life, life is the price.
