Free Earth For Life

You see, I live in this world that promises my freedom. I do what I do so I can live in this kingdom. I pay my bills, do my taxes, and even work over-time I always pay my rent; never leaving a single dime. Then one day, it hit me, like a ball to a bat I was thinking about the world over where I sat. I pay for water and air as if there wasn't any. I thought this world had clean free water already. Big corporate elites stick a price to my liberty; “You can only live here if you know our history.” “My land is your land, but you can’t stay here.” “I’m the boss of my people. I’m the puppeteer.” I look up to the sky and see my Earth be sold Like food from a market not even paid for with gold. We sell sand to the beaches and trees to the land Nothing is free. We are all marked as a brand. Yet I go on with my life and have no worry. I start my day and end it with my eyes all blurry. I sit down and watch the screen, as I see an ad wiz by: “Free earth for life. You need to call now and buy.”
