Pay To Breathe

Pay to breathe
Pay to breathe
wrapped in greed
you cannot see
the meaning of life
before your eyes
stillness captured in your lies
worth a dime
pockets dry
you do a crime
you do the time
then you pay to breathe?
Or you die?

That is a desperate thought, to have to pay to breathe or for water. That would be the end of us.
