Compensation

As human beings We all want everything to be effortless And to have the world But only if it’s free The mere thought of this Is preposterous scrutiny But I realize....this is how you see me Repeatedly declaring the fact You are single.... But lay beside me every night Still believing it’s alright to mingle The definition casual means just that.... It comes with no home cooked meals Or routine nightly sexual sessions No domesticated duties of any kind Yet you think I will grant this To keep progressing And allow you to keep lounging On benefits without sacrifice And no sacrifice with privileges Apparently you must presume We live in a gated village Such a unproductive state To continue to portray A misleading commitment That was doomed from the beginning Nothing comes without a price And I certainly come with great cost and consequence My emotions aren’t on the market As a donation that you can Keep using for handout You provide no motivation For complimentary compensation
